Sounds like you were Blue while the Purple guy was already coming across 45, in which case you absolutely would be expected to yield. Once he is crossing 45, Purple has right of way at the intersection with Blue's yield sign.


This is basically 3 different intersections, not one big one.

1) Median Crossing/Highway 45 lanes (Purple's current spot)

2) Elkcam Blvd/Highway 45 exit (Blue's current spot)

then

3) Elkcam Blvd/Tamiami Trail frontage road


Each has its own set of traffic control signs, dictating who has right of way at each of the three intersections.

So if Purple is currently transiting across 45 onto Elkcam, Blue has to yield at that (2nd) intersection. But if Purple is just sitting stopped at the median, Blue doesn't need to yield since the intersection in questions (2nd) is clear.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This!!!

I voted incorrectly based upon the drawing. After seeing the Google Maps image of the intersection, purple car only has to yield to the 3 lanes he's crossing, and blue car yields to anything coming from his left. Side road stops and waits for anything from left or right...

Well part of the problem is I/we voted based upon the original drawing. After seeing an actual photo of the intersection and how everything is actually laid out, it became clear what SHOULD happen! However, I/we are not allowed to change our vote!!!

Listen, it's simple Mr. Purple has the right of way, end of story, he's on a major highway crossing, Mr. Blue doesn't enter the intersection until either Mr. Purple is through, or, Mr. White and Mr. Black Blonde who are approaching the intersection from the bottom are through the intersection. At that point Mr. Purple must wait so's Mr. Blue can proceed as Mr. Purple cannot.

Now we have Mr. Pink, who, constantly complains about his girly sounding name, will have Mr. Brown next to him, should he come up behind Mr. Purple it follows the same rules as were for Mr. Blue before.

Now, if everyone is through with the color names, lets get to work...


Fixed it, otherwise they all would have killed each other to be Mr. Black before they got into the intersection.


Mr. Black was there, he was coming from another job....

If what you said was true, then what purpose would the blue car's yield sign serve? Who would they be yielding to?


Well, people heading east and turning left onto frontage road, people heading east and turning right onto the main road, and people leaving the stop signs on the frontage road after having come to a complete stop.

Just to be clear, I did exactly what I was supposed to do, I yielded. What got me thinking about it was the guy slowed way down, forcing me to stop instead of just rolling behind him after he went by, and he was pointing at my yield sign. I was doing it and did it right, wouldn’t have given it a second thought except for the guy’s dick move.

Yes. All eastbound traffic, which is only coming from the southbound lanes.

Negative. Traffic in the pattern and yielding traffic waiting to enter all have right away over those at stop signs. If the blue car had to give way to those on the service road there would have a stop sign instead of a yield sign.

Sounds like he doesn't know how it works, and was unjustly being a dick.
