When American road signs were being conceived, a general concept was devised that the more sides a sign has, the more important its implication (circular signs, having "infinite" sides, are considered the most urgent). A triangle is used with the YIELD sign because it's meant primarily as a notice. It is the driver's responsibility to observe traffic and only proceed when it's clear, but the driver will not get in trouble for simply driving past a YIELD sign--only for causing trouble once past it, which is covered under other traffic laws.

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.
