I dare you. The only way what you say is true would be to find that. And you won't find it. A yeild sign is not legally defined for a situation like this.
There clearly is a free lane (as the lines are painted), that no one else but the entering traffic has the right of way to be in (other than a safe and legal lane change from the other lane). There simply is no one to yield to if I want to proceed in that lane. Then I speed match, and make a safe lane change.

A yield states that you don't proceed until safe to do so. If you get hit then it wasn't safe to proceed hence you are at fault
