Explanation
At a green light, you may go if the way is clear. However, if the traffic light changes from red to green while a pedestrian is in the street, you must yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian. Even though the light is green for your vehicle, wait until the pedestrian has safely crossed the street before proceeding.
