You could probably make a good argument for the other driver making an unsafe lane change. You approached the moot yield, lane was clear (you yielded), you proceed, guy changes lanes into you.
I fully agree with Thneed on this one. I also agree that it would get complicated with insurance. But there simply is no reason for that sign to be a yield.
So anyone driving up in that silver car's lane needs to be yielded to? Signalling or not? "Oh look - a car is approaching in the
lane adjacent to mine. Better stop." Simply doesn't make sense.
I understand that determining fault would be tricky there, but that could be easily resolved by putting signage there that actually reflects the roadway.
