All approaching traffic. Yield, since you are obviously studying for your driving test, means to allow other traffic/cars to pass you first before you turn left, etc. Traffic travelling straight has the 'right of way' over traffic that is turning at an unprotected turn (not a green left turn signal)
Please be careful out there!

Indicates that a driver of a vehicle must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary (usually while merging into traffic on another road) but does not need to stop if there is no reason to. A driver who has actually stopped in this situation is said to have yielded the right-of-way to through traffic on the main road.

I guess this means you have not yet passed your test for getting a driver's license.
Here is definition of the word in case you are not familiar with it. Also some illustrations what the sign looks like (it is usually yellow, with black printing, in USA, but it is other colors in other countries.

Basically it means that YOU DO NOT HAVE RIGHT OF WAY unless there's no other traffic there.
If you come to an intersection where you have a stop sign & the other traffic does not, they you have to stop, and wait until they are not there. If no one else there, you have to stop at stop sign anyway.
But if it was a YIELD sign, and they were not there, then you do not have to stop. You only have to stop if the other traffic is there, to let them go first.

Yield means to give way to. If you must yield to another driver, it means that they have the right of way and you have to let them go first.
Drivers turning left must always yield to oncoming traffic (drivers coming straight from the opposing direction or turning right onto the street you want to turn onto).

yeild means Take caution. drivers going straight have the right away so the driver turning has to yield the straight traffic

I don't think any/many Ft. Worth, TX. drivers know the word YIELD! It means to stop for a brief pause and look for oncoming traffic, that has the rightaway.

When you yield, you let the other person go first. You go before others yielding to you.

yield means to slow down, look for traffic, and if there is you might have to stop. It's kind of like caution

You must give way to any and all through traffic.Since right turns are with the flow they can continue after a complete stop if traffic is clear.Lefties are at the mercy of through traffic,You must yeild! If you are broadsided(T-Boned)you will almost always be found at fault and cited if you live through it.
