Practice question

What does a green arrow signal mean?

  1. You must stop at the intersection
  2. You may proceed in the direction of the arrow
  3. You should yield to oncoming traffic
  4. You must turn left only

Answer: B — You may proceed in the direction of the arrow

A green arrow signal signifies that a driver may proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow. This is an indication of a protected movement, meaning that the driver has the right of way to continue in that direction without having to yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians. It is particularly used at intersections where turns are allowed and indicates that it is safe to move forward. This traffic light serves to enhance safety and efficiency by clearly communicating to drivers when they can proceed, thereby reducing confusion and potential accidents at intersections. Understanding this is essential for safe driving practices and adhering to traffic laws.
