What does a green traffic light indicate?

1. You must stop

2. You may proceed with caution

3. All drivers must yield

4. You may proceed without stopping

The correct answer is: You may proceed without stopping

A green traffic light indicates that you may proceed without stopping. This signal is designed to communicate that the intersection is clear for vehicles to move forward. A green light typically means that it is safe to continue into the intersection or to make turns, as long as it is safe to do so based on the surrounding traffic and conditions. While there are situations where you should proceed with caution, such as when pedestrians are crossing or if there are potential hazards, the fundamental meaning of a green light is indeed to allow movement. Drivers are expected to assess the situation when the light turns green, ensuring they do not endanger themselves or others. The other options convey different meanings that do not align with the purpose of a green light. For example, telling a driver they must stop or that all drivers must yield contradicts the clear signal of a green light. Understanding how to properly interpret traffic signals is crucial for safe driving.
