Practice question

What does a Green Arrow Light indicate?

  1. Vehicles must stop regardless of other traffic
  2. Vehicles may proceed only in the direction of the arrow after yielding
  3. All vehicles must turn at the arrow
  4. Oncoming traffic must yield to vehicles with the green arrow

Answer: B — Vehicles may proceed only in the direction of the arrow after yielding

A green arrow light indicates that vehicles are allowed to proceed in the direction of the arrow after yielding to any pedestrians or other vehicles that may be in the intersection. This means that drivers can move safely in the direction the arrow points, provided they ensure it is clear to do so. The emphasis on yielding ensures that safety is a priority, allowing for a flow of traffic while still being considerate of potential hazards. This understanding is crucial as it helps drivers recognize when they have the right of way, while also making them aware of their responsibility to ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding. In various situations, pedestrian crossings may occur at the same time, necessitating caution from the driver.
