Explanation
If you are approaching an intersection with a green light, always check that the road ahead is clear of traffic and that it is safe to proceed. If it isn’t safe and there are pedestrians, bicycles, or vehicles in your way, do not enter the intersection. Instead, wait patiently outside of it and proceed only when the intersection is clear.
