Generally "Yield Right of Way", "Yield" or "Yield Ahead" signs are posted on "approaches to a through street or Highway where conditions are such that a stop is not always required" in the United States. They are also sometimes used in the merging of traffic where safety dictates that one or more lanes must give right of way to the other lanes. Most often yield signs are posted where there is sufficient visibility that merging traffic does not necessarily have to come to a stop before entering a roadway, although you still MUST yield the right-of-way to traffic in that lane.
Yield signs are usually placed where auxiliary roads lead into major roads.

They are often white, although some are red (stop and yield signs).

At intersections without "STOP" or "YIELD" signs, slow down and be ready to stop. Yield to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection or just entering the intersection.At "T" intersections without "STOP" or "YIELD" signs, yield to traffic and pedestrians on the through road. They have the right-of-way.
According to CRS 42-4-604, one may make a right turn on red if: - they come to a complete stop - they yield to pedestrians - they yield to other traffic legally using the intersection - no signs are posted otherwise (for example, "no turn on red")
In my experience, the theoretical yield is usually higher, if everything is measured accurately.
You ALWAYS yield to the vehicle on your right.

Yield usually refers to yield to maturity. If a bond is trading at par it usually means the yield to maturity is equal to the coupon.
In road transport a Yield or Give Way sign indicated that a driver must be prepared to stop and yield or stop for another driver who has right of way
