Sorry, Ace. You do not have to stop for a yield sign unless there is traffic approaching. Please read the following quote from the NC Driver’s Manual:
“The yield sign is triangular shaped with the point at the bottom. This sign is red and white with the word “YIELD” in large letters at the top. When you approach the yield sign, you must slow down and yield the right of way. Your need to stop depends on the traffic on the intersecting street. To avoid interfering with that traffic, you must stop and wait for it to pass.”
