What do green lights mean?

  1. You must stop immediately

  2. You can only go straight

  3. You may proceed if your exit is not blocked

  4. You can turn left only

The correct answer is: You may proceed if your exit is not blocked

Green lights indicate that you may proceed through the intersection or into the area controlled by the traffic light, provided that it is safe to do so. This means checking that your intended path is clear of obstacles, such as vehicles or pedestrians, and that your exit is not blocked. It allows for flexibility in movement, which includes turning right, going straight, or even turning left, as long as those movements are safe and comply with any other road signs present. The interpretation of green lights is crucial for maintaining the flow of traffic and ensuring that drivers can navigate safely through intersections. Being aware of your surroundings and understanding that a green light does not guarantee an unobstructed path is essential for safe driving.
