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. Placed there will be a yield sign. The duty of the driver facing a yield sign is to yield the right of way to all traffic on the roadway in which they want to enter. It is illegal to enter that roadway unless it can be done safely.

When there is a intersection and no sign do you yield?
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.

What is a yeild?
Yield is the correct spelling. Yield is when you wait before going from oncoming traffic. If a vehicle is going the way you want to go, and there is a yield sign, you must "wait" lfor them to pass before continuing. You don't come to a complete stop, you cautiously drive looking if there is traffic if not keep driving, if there is traffic, stop and yield. Hope this helps...
What does it mean when the traffic lights blinks red or yellow?
When a traffic light blinks red it means 'yield,' so proceed as if it were a four way stop sign. I've never heard of one blinking only yellow.
