Pausing at a stop sign is all that is required. You don't have to wait there if it is not required. But I get what you say that STOP does not mean YIELD. Yet YIELD can mean STOP.

I was once coming off I-4 in Florida accessing a local road. Cars were all zooming around a curve and there was hardly any visibility. A car could have appeared out of nowhere. There was a Yield sign getting off I-4. But cars were coming around the turn so fast and so often, I decided to stop, rather than yield to be absolutely certain there were no cars on the road that I could see.

So this car behind me plows into me and admits he wasn't watching my car, but the other road. He told me that in three years of him coming off that ramp, I was the first one to stop at that yield sign, so he expected me to go through and not stop. So was I wrong in being extra cautious?
