Explanation
A green light means you can proceed, but only if you can clear the intersection before the light turns red. When you approach a green light but find that traffic is blocking the intersection, do not enter the intersection until you have a clear path to cross completely. This practice ensures that you do not block the intersection, which can cause congestion and create hazards for other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
