What does a green light mean at an intersection?

A green light at an intersection indicates that you may proceed through the intersection, provided that the way is clear. This means you can continue driving unless there are other vehicles or pedestrians blocking your path, or if it is unsafe to do so. It is essential for drivers to ensure that the intersection is clear before moving forward to prevent accidents.

The clear instruction provided by a green light emphasizes the importance of being vigilant for any potential hazards, such as pedestrians crossing or vehicles unexpectedly stopping. Drivers are expected to maintain awareness of their surroundings, even when they have the right of way indicated by the green light. Understanding this helps to promote safe driving practices and reduce the risk of collisions at intersections.
