Interesting.
Google Street View, N/S Beaulieu shows stop sights, Date June 2017. Also two little bike symbols in front of the stop line.

Google Street View, E/W shows yield signs, Date May 2016. Did someone plant a sign directly in front of the yield sign? Also no bicycle symbols.

The first two accidents were in 2011 and 2012.
The third accident was in December 2016, between the two street images.
Presumably the first two accidents had the yield sign. We don't know what transpired between May 2016 and December 2016, but I presume the stop signs and bicycle symbols came after the third accident.
I don't think I've ever seen an intersection on a rural road without a stop sign, although occasionally one finds urban intersections with either yield signs, or no markings at all.
I think there may be too much temptation to hit rural yield signs at speed... and not really yield at all.
Even if one does a "rolling stop", one usually reduces speed for stops, thus no longer "constant velocity".
