Traffic Rules - A Basic Understanding

I know I have already gone off on NJ drivers but I think we all need to go over two things that might help you out. First off..what is the lane below that I conveniently marked for you with flow arrows?

If you said the fast lane, then you are a moron. Please drive your car into the median forcefully next time you are on the road.

As individuals we all have a perception of what we would consider fast. So the idea of thinking something could be labeled a "fast lane" is just plain retarded. The correct answer and purpose of this lane is to pass. Just a tip, if you are in the far left lane and cars are whizzing by you, take a look in rear view to see if there is a long line of cars waiting for you to roll into an embankment.

Next question! This one is a real head scratcher. What is this mystical sign mean?

Apparently in NJ most drivers think that this sign is pretty much meaningless. This may blow your minds but you have to stop at this sign if their is traffic in the merging lane. I know this is nuts! How can this be when this triangular piece of metal clearly tells me to just yield not stop? To end the confusion, the exact description of a yield sign is "a traffic sign that indicates that a vehicle driver must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary." Pretty friggin simple!
