Who is responsible for littering from a motor vehicle?
Answer: The driver of the vehicle.

A 'Yield' sign indicates that drivers must slow down and be prepared to stop if necessary to allow other vehicles to proceed. When approaching a 'Yield' sign, you are required to give the right of way to all traffic already in the intersection or approaching from other directions. You should only proceed when it is safe to do so without interfering with other traffic.
