Intersections & Right-of-WayStandalone practice
Your circular signal turns green, but a pedestrian is still lawfully crossing within the intersection. What should you do?
Correct answer: Yield and let the pedestrian clear your path before proceeding.
Why
A circular green permits movement, but drivers must yield to pedestrians and vehicles lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk when the signal changes. Wait until your intended path is clear and it is safe to move. A green signal is permission to proceed under those conditions, not an unconditional right to go.
