Maybe. I just imagine that there are a lot of streets where a yield sign isn't appropriate, such as an intersection where one direction is high speed and the other has poor visibility. Bicycles can stop much more quickly than cars, so perhaps it's less safe to make more intersections into yields.

Then again, we could probably use a lot more yields than stop signs in general.
