But, like I said, I AM yielding by performing a proper merge there.

I know the city felt to put a yield sign there, but I'm looking through the driver's handbook right now, and there nothing about what a yield sign means that would prevent a driver from legally performing a merge there.

Looking at what the drivers handbook tells you do when coming up to a yield sign, the yield sign is actually dangerous there, and not just because no one yields. Slowing down and/or stopping there is dangerous, whether there is someone behind you or not.
