Nope. We have them all over the place in Metro Detroit.
This thread is funny though, can't believe so many people have never seen this? The road along side the freeway is a service drive. You exit the freeway and take this road until you get to the desired cross-street. You can't have the exiting traffic yield or the line would back-up down onto the freeway. Its not a great design. But neither are Michigan-lefts (google it). Ironically, lots of f*cked up road design in the city that fathered the automobile (at least in the US).
And yes, _assholes_ ignore the yield. Some people don't even look - just blow right through the sign. Some people actually cut right into the exit lane itself which is pure madness. I honestly think some people don't really know what a yield sign is or what its for.
