In examples, autonomous vehicles are enabled to negotiate yield scenarios in a safe and predictable manner. In response to detecting a yield scenario, a wait element data structure is generated that encodes geometries of an ego path, a contender path that includes at least one contention point with the ego path, as well as a state of contention associated with the at least on contention point. Geometry of yield scenario context may also be encoded, such as inside ground of an intersection, entry or exit lines, etc. The wait element data structure is passed to a yield planner of the autonomous vehicle. The yield planner determines a yielding behavior for the autonomous vehicle based at least on the wait element data structure. A control system of the autonomous vehicle may operate the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the yield behavior, such that the autonomous vehicle safely negotiates the yield scenario.
