Explanation
When the traffic light turns green, you are allowed to enter the intersection. However, you must give the right of way to any vehicle, bicyclist, or pedestrian already in the intersection. It is also important to make sure you have enough space to clear the intersection completely before the light turns red. Do not enter the intersection if you cannot safely make it all the way through.
