It's a yield sign, in case you're oblivious. (Also the title of a pretty good Pearl Jam album, but that's beside the point.) This little bad boy is placed at several intersections and interchanges throughout the city of Tuscaloosa, and I cannot tell you how many times I've almost been sideswiped by a clueless driver who doesn't understand what YIELD means.

When you see a yield sign, that means YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. You're supposed to WAIT and let the other drivers go first. Watch this video and learn this somehow baffling basic skill.
