Traffic lights and pavement markingsQuestion 153 of 318

You face a green light. Some pedestrians are still in the intersection. What must you do?

  1. Drive on at once, because the light is green
  2. Yield to them, then drive on
  3. Sound your horn to make them hurry
  4. Stop and wait for the next green light
Show answer

Correct answer: Yield to them, then drive on

A green light does not remove the duty to yield. Let the vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians already in the intersection finish, then go on.
