Practice question

What does a green traffic light indicate?

  1. Stop and wait
  2. Go, but yield to pedestrians
  3. Proceed with caution
  4. Begin to slow down

Answer: B — Go, but yield to pedestrians

A green traffic light indicates that vehicles are permitted to proceed through the intersection, making it clear that they can continue moving in the direction the light is signaling. However, it is crucial to recognize that even with a green light, drivers must remain vigilant and yield to pedestrians crossing at or near the intersection. This ensures the safety of all road users, especially those on foot who may have just started to cross when the light turned green. This understanding emphasizes the importance of sharing the road and being aware of others, as yielding to pedestrians is a key part of responsible driving behavior in any situation where a traffic light is present.
