What is the implication of a "Left Turn Yield on Green" sign?

A "Left Turn Yield on Green" sign indicates that when you are making a left turn at an intersection with a green light, you do not automatically have the right of way. Instead, you must yield to oncoming traffic that is approaching the intersection. This is critical for maintaining safety because oncoming vehicles may be going straight or turning right, and they have the priority until you can safely complete your left turn without conflicting with them. Understanding this allows drivers to maneuver through intersections correctly and helps prevent accidents that could occur if a driver assumes they can turn unchecked during a green signal.
