Interesting question. I just found an intersection like that near where I live. Not really sure who has "right-of-way" (regardless of whether "right-of-way" is truly a right, or if it's something that's yielded to you by the other vehicle).

Normally, the right-turning vehicle should go first, to be followed (when safe) by the left-turning vehicle. But if the right-turning vehicle has a yield sign, should they allow the left-turning vehicle to go first? How does that left-turning vehicle know that there's a yield sign for the right-turning vehicle? There are 30 million signs (slight exaggeration) up at that intersection.

The left-turning lane of traffic has a dedicated left-turn arrow, too (though no red-arrow to stop them from turning when the through-intersection traffic has a green). So I understand the intent of the yield sign (to avoid having right-on-red turners run into left-on-green-arrow turners. And I can understand not putting up a no-right-on-red limitation to hold up traffic needlessly.

But I think the nimrod traffic engineer (aren't they all, here in Massachusetts?) who put up the yield sign is confusing the situation. If there were to be an accident, not sure who exactly would be at fault. There's no clear-cut answer.
