Why would you ever have to yield to a adjacent parallel lane - a lane that has to cross a dotted line to get into the lane you are driving in, when you yourself do not have any lines to cross, and simply can continue to drive in the lane you are in.

The yield sign is clearly contradictory to the way the lanes are marked. And because of the way the lanes are marked, there simply is no meaning to the yield sign.
