This is Besides Constantly Witnessing Vehicles Coming to a ‘COMPLETE STOP’ at a YIELD SIGN even though NOBODY is in the Roundabout or Simply Entering from the Northbound Side of Buena Vista !!

Please Correct me
IF I am Wrong, but

I was taught that “YIELD” simply
means “ Proceed with Caution”

In Other Words,
Break Out of ‘Tunnel Vision’ Mode and
LQQK to the LEFT as you APPROACH …

… same Exact Method as when
using a typical “Merging Lane”
The worst drivers don't stop. They have collisions.

"Poceed with caution" is a different sign used when a road may be rough or damaged but is still passable if you are very careful.
"YIELD" means you do not have the right of way and must give way to others, slowing down or stopping, if necessary, until it is safe for you to proceed. It means you can't impeed drivers already in the RB.
In the days of Olde, when knights were bold, "I yield" meant "I give up", and they dropped their sword and stopped fighting.
