Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
A green arrow permits your turn, but a pedestrian is still lawfully in the path. What should you do?

Correct answer: Yield until the path is clear, then make the indicated turn safely.
Why
A green arrow permits movement in its indicated direction. Check the path and yield to pedestrians and other traffic lawfully using the intersection. The expected red for conflicting movements is not a guarantee that the area is empty.
