"Yield Overload"

Driving through this intersection near Trenton, NJ is quite possibly one of the easiest ways to learn to yield, IMO:

Traffic exiting off I-95 and heading south on NJ 29 must yield once to the right, then once to the left and then finally, once again, to the right. So, I'm wondering if there's any other locations where there's a large amount of yielding required? Roundabouts and traffic circles don't count - the criteria here is that the yield must belong to only a single road (such as NJ 29 SB here).

Am I correct to assume that is somewhere in the Saguenay area given the name?

This is the first time I've seen specific signed instructions/directions about yielding at an intersection.  Stop signs and route signs/shields, of course, but not yields.

In the part of Michigan where I grew up, Yield Except When Turning Right was somewhat common. It happened at 3- or 4-way intersections where the "main" road made a 90 degree turn. The MUTCD specifies a Yield To Opposing Traffic, too.

"To Right" or "To Left" is new to me. I'd expect One Way signs, except a motorist might get confused by the combination of One Way and No Turns... so the NJ treatment might actually make more sense.

Sadly, when the new 95 overpass is built, the interchanges will be converted to roundabouts and roundabout bypasses.  Boring.

Does that translate out as The Pyramid of Ha-Ha?

Pretty much, or as "Ha! Ha! Pyramid." I did a search and confirmed that it is indeed in the Saguenay valley. I had visited the area on a family vacation when I was a kid and I remembered the name "Baie des Ha! Ha!" as being the point where a tributary flowed into the Saguenay River, but I didn't remember the pyramid. Turns out that's because it was built in 1998 as a memorial following a horrendous flood in 1996.

You win. All hail the yield pyramide.

A good 50% of those are international-style warning signs though...

That movement is missing on the other side of 95. WTF?
