Perhaps, a yield sign might make sense if the lines were painted on the road different, but the signage and lines have been the way they are for 30 years.
If I merge improperly, and hit a car becasue of that, then I'd be at fault, but If I'm attempting to merge, and a car comes from the left trying to exit and hits me, they would be at fault, as they would have not made sure the lane they were entering was clear.

Please mention my name to whoever you collide with while merging at that sign.
Your insurance will certainly pay up, whatever your view of "right" and "wrong"...
