Right of wayQuestion 44 of 202
A traffic signal with three lights in a column. The bottom light is green.

You face a green light and want to turn left. Who goes first?

  1. Vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection
  2. Vehicles on your right
  3. Nobody, you go first
  4. Only pedestrians
Show answer

Correct answer: Vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection

A green light does not give you the right of way when you turn. Let others who are lawfully in the intersection go first.
