"Yield" means to give something to somebody who demands it.
"Right of way" means the right to go through some place (like an intersetion.)
If you see a "Yield" sign as you enter some kind of intersection, it means that somebody else (not you) has the right of way, and you must yield it to them.
In the U.S.A., a YIELD sign means the same thing as a STOP sign except you don't have to stop---all you have to do is keep out of the other guy's way, and you're golden.
Yield to right of way
It means that you have to yield, or stop, for the driver that has the right of way.
Other vehicle in intersection goes before you do
A driver should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians:
To yield the right of way means slowing down or stopping to allow other vehicles and pedestrians to proceed first. This happens at intersections when entering a private road or driveway and is especially important on pedestrian crossings.

When you enter traffic from a stopped and position, always yield the right of way to
You ALWAYS yield to the vehicle on your right.
You yield to pedestrians and ones who have the right of way and be cautious!!
"Yield the Right Of Way" means that the vehicle on the intersecting roadway to your right (at a stop sign) has the legal right of way and they should go before you do. On entering a highway (freeway) by an 'on ramp', the vehicle which is already traveling down the road you are merging onto has the "Right Of Way" and you are required to yield to their vehicle when entering traffic. Most drivers will move over and let you in, so not to disrupt the flow of traffic, but they are not required by law to do so. You are required by law to yield them the right of way because you are entering their lane of travel (their Right Of Way) in traffic.
True
False. In most states, you do have to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle, as long as you can do so safely.
