On a green arrow, you must:
- Yield to any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian in the intersection. ✓
- Yield to pedestrians only in the intersection.
- Wait four seconds before proceeding.
Answer: A. Yield to any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian in the intersection.
On a green arrow, you may go in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to any vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian in the intersection.
Why this is the answer
The manual's traffic signal section says a green arrow lets you go that way only if you give the right-of-way to other traffic at the intersection as the law requires. The right-of-way chapter adds that drivers must avoid hitting pedestrians and bicyclists and must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks before turning. Together, those passages support yielding to vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians rather than treating the arrow as an absolute clearance.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. Yield to pedestrians only in the intersection. — A green arrow does not narrow your duty to pedestrians alone; the signal rule says to yield to other traffic at the intersection, and the right-of-way chapter also tells drivers to avoid colliding with bicyclists.
- C. Wait four seconds before proceeding. — No passage sets a four-second wait for a green arrow; it tells you to proceed in the arrow direction while yielding the right-of-way as required.
Remember it
Treat a green arrow as permission to go that way, not as a promise that the intersection is empty.
