Signals and road markingsQuestion 79 of 312

What does a green light give a driver?

  1. Full right-of-way over all other road users
  2. Permission to speed up through the intersection
  3. Permission to go with care, not a full right-of-way
  4. Permission to go only if no one else is near
Show answer

Correct answer: Permission to go with care, not a full right-of-way

Green only allows you to go with care. You must still watch for others who are in or near the intersection.
