where small roads lead to big roads
right before a intersection
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.
They are often white, although some are red (stop and yield signs).

The different types of signs that can be found on a triangle are warning signs, yield signs, and road 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.
Crossbuck signs should be treated the same as yield signs. They indicate that a driver must slow down and be prepared to stop for an approaching train at a railroad crossing. Just like yield signs, they require drivers to assess the situation and yield the right-of-way as needed for safety.
Traffic signs can only display one piece of information and they are normally not illuminated. Traffic signs are usually put on posts on the side of the road and tell you to stop, yield, or what the speed limit is. Traffic signals have a series of lights (usually Red, Yellow, and Green), which change to give motorists multiple directions. Traffic signals are usually placed in intersections, and aside from telling drivers to go and stop, can also flash arrow signals to tell drivers in a turning lane when to make a turn.
Road signs are designed with specific shapes to convey different meanings quickly. Round signs, such as yield or speed limit signs, typically indicate regulatory information or warnings. In contrast, triangular signs, like yield signs, are used to alert drivers to potential hazards or give instructions to yield. The distinct shapes help drivers recognize and respond to the signs' messages more efficiently.
Yield signs are most strongly associated with traffic control and road safety. They indicate to drivers that they must slow down and yield the right-of-way to other vehicles or pedestrians at intersections. The primary purpose of yield signs is to prevent accidents by ensuring that drivers are aware of potential hazards when merging or crossing lanes.
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.
You ALWAYS yield to the vehicle on your right.
