What does a green traffic signal mean?

Stop immediately
Proceed with caution
Slow down and prepare to stop
Yield to pedestrians

The correct answer is: Proceed with caution

A green traffic signal indicates that drivers may proceed through the intersection or continue driving in the direction permitted by the signal. It is a signal that indicates that it is safe to move forward; however, drivers should remain attentive to their surroundings and aware of other road users, including pedestrians and cyclists. While "proceed with caution" might imply a need for carefulness, it is essential to differentiate between green and other signals. In the case of a green light, the expectation is for drivers to continue unless there are obstacles or hazards that require them to stop. Various road rules dictate that drivers must still be vigilant and ready to respond to unexpected situations at a green light, such as pedestrians crossing or vehicles unexpectedly stopping or blocking the intersection. This understanding helps drivers maintain a proper level of awareness and encourages safe driving behavior.
