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.

Not tricky at all - I would merely show that fine photo to his insurer and they would accept 100% liability. Whether that's "right" in the greater scheme of things is another matter... My own view is that this city was built by morons.
