The Yield traffic sign is intended to represent to a driver who has the clear path to continue through an intersection first. It's intended to mean that a driver must yield to oncoming traffic from his or her right side. Yielding means allowing that incoming driver to go first. This is the concept known as right of way and the yield sign is supposed to mean that everyone can drive more safely within an orderly traffic system.

What does the road sign yield mean?

Let's identify first what a Yield sign is. The Yield sign is the only sign on the road (US) that is in the shape of a upside-down triangle with rounded corners, similarly to the stop sign, the stop sign is the only sign on the road that's in the shape of a octagon (has 8 sides). You'll usually see a Yield sign at an intersection, for instance traffic circles. You're not required to stop at the yield sign but you can if you have too to give way to traffic that doesn't have to stop period. Yield signs are not a sign that you blow through. The yield sign means that "You're not required to stop, but you don't have the right-of-way at this intersection." The yield sign is also less restrictive than the stop sign, you still have to give the right-of-way to other traffic, but you're not required to stop at a yield sign.

What action is required by the yield sign with regard to traffic laws in Texas?

A yield sign is used when a lane of traffic is entering another roadway but is not required to make a complete stop. It is most commonly used when a roadway is coming to an intersection with another roadway and there is a specific right turn lane which bypasses the actual intersection.
