Correct.

and a yield sign has right of way over a Stop Sign.

For example, there is a road that crosses a 4 lane highway nearby.

The road has stop signs where it joins the highway, the median portion of the road has a yield sign.

this means that if a break in traffic allows the median to join the highway - he should do so.

but almost every time i sit there, and the break in traffic comes, the guy with the stop sign just helps himself to the right of way.
