A yield sign (above) is NOT a stop sign (below).
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people have a yield sign and they regard it as a stop sign. There is a reason they are two different signs! If you are yielding, you merge. That means you either speed up to get in front of the next car, or you slow down a bit to let them pass and then you get in behind them. People who are in the main stream of traffic should not have to alter their speed in order to get around you coming in to their lane.
Sorry, I had an experience this morning where a guy was supposed to yield to me and instead almost ran me off the road. He just kept driving right next to me as the lanes merged together - scary!
Oh, I hear ya, sister. We have a peticular clover leaf in our area that seems to confuse the masses...that is to say, when i'm driving it at any rate.
