In an ideal world yes but in our world that would mean motorists would ignore them.
I feel like in our world it's more like stop signs are already treated like yield signs by everyone, so it wouldn't really change much.
Make them roundabouts and it wouldn't matter if they ignore them.
On Sunday I got to see someone ignore a roundabout... by going the wrong way on it and nearly hitting someone. Drivers... ugh
The worst I have seen is someone entering a roundabout indicating as if they were exiting at the first exit, and continued indicating to exit until just before the third exit at which point they indicated to stay on the roundabout while exiting
I don't really understand why motorists would ignore yield signs but adhere to stop signs. Just put a cop there who gives tickets, it's easy money for the government.
In my country the government literally uses traffic violations as a hidden tax.
Because yield signs are less clear-cut. At a stop sign you stop regardless of oncoming traffic. At a yield sign you need to check if there’s oncoming traffic and make a decision as to whether it’s close enough that you should yield.
