I don't care if the yield signs are red, yellow, or purple. Stop signs also used to be yellow, many moons ago.
The ambiguity comes in that the car has an added lane, so they are not yielding to other auto traffic.
The issue is only crossing the bike lane.
So, attention should be directed primarily to the bike lane, and not to auto traffic.
Combining the bike and yield signs would make it clearer (and get rid of the extra sign posts).
Of course, one can quickly get sign overload, and there is nothing to guarantee that the old guy was reading the signs.
