What does a steady green light, with no arrows, indicate?

• A. Stop and wait for a signal.
• B. Proceed immediately without regard to pedestrians.
• C. You may proceed if the path is clear; yield to pedestrians and ensure it is safe.
• D. You must slow to a crawl.

Answer: (C)

Green means go, but only when it’s safe to do so. A steady green light with no arrows lets you proceed through the intersection, provided the path is clear and you can do so without risking others. You must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and be mindful of any vehicles that might have the right of way or be turning into your path. If a pedestrian is crossing or another vehicle has a conflicting turn, you wait or stop as needed. The other choices imply stopping or ignoring pedestrians, which isn’t how a plain green signal works.
