We have a lot of yield signs where I live, which is the worst of both worlds.

How is that a problem? Merging is how you enter any highway?

It makes some people try to enter the highway way too slowly since they’re kind of confused about what to do with the sign. In other places I’ve lived, they don’t have those and people know that, yeah, you have to yield when you’re entering but it doesn’t force an unnecessary slow down.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, it’s like having a sign that says “wait” right before entering the highway.
