Practice questions with this sign
You face this steady green light. What may you do?
- Go at once; everyone else must wait for you
- Go straight only; turns are not allowed
- Go straight, turn left or turn right after yielding to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection (Correct answer)

Your light is green and you are going straight, but traffic is backed up into the intersection ahead. What should you do?
- Enter the intersection and wait there
- Go around the traffic using the left-turn lane
- Stop before the intersection until there is room on the other side (Correct answer)
- Sound your horn and move forward
Explanation: A green light does not let you block an intersection. If traffic ahead blocks it, stop before entering and wait until the traffic ahead moves.
The left-turn green arrow has just ended and this steady green light is on. Oncoming cars are coming. What should you do?
- Turn now; you still have the right-of-way
- Turn quickly before the oncoming cars arrive
- Back up and choose another lane
- Wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic and pedestrians (Correct answer)
Explanation: After the arrow ends, a green light lets you turn left only when the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians. Oncoming traffic may now have a green light too.
