no, yield means slow down & make sure you're not going to hit anyone coming by when you get on the road.
If another driver fails to yield the right-of-way at a yield sign, you should proceed with caution and yield to them to avoid a potential collision. It is important to prioritize safety and follow traffic rules to prevent accidents.
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.
When you see a yield sign, you must slow down as you approach the intersection and be prepared to stop if necessary. Yield to any oncoming or intersecting traffic that has the right of way, then proceed with caution when it is safe to do so.
A yield sign does not require a complete stop; instead, it indicates that you must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary. You should yield the right-of-way to any oncoming traffic or pedestrians before proceeding. If the intersection is clear, you can continue without stopping. Always prioritize safety and be aware of your surroundings when approaching a yield sign.
A crossbuck sign is not the same as a yield sign, although it serves a similar purpose at railroad crossings. The crossbuck indicates that a railroad track is present and that drivers should be cautious. While it doesn't specifically instruct drivers to yield, it implies that they should prepare to stop and give way to any approaching trains, making it essential for safety at these intersections.
A driver should yield the right-of-way to pedestrians:
When you see a do not enter sign, do not enter.

a stop sign has 5 more corners than a yield sisn
you only have to stop at a yield sign if there is cross traffic - if it would not be safe for you to continue through the intersection. Typically only one road at the intersection will have a yield sign - the other one will either have no sign or a stop sign/light.
It means that the bus is about to pull into the lane of travel (presumably from a bus stop), and that you are expected to yield to the bus to let it in.
