If you have a green light but traffic is blocking the intersection, what should you do?

• A. Speed up to pass through
• B. Stop and proceed when the traffic clears at the intersection
• C. Turn right quickly
• D. Honk to move traffic

Answer: (B)

When you have a green light, you’re allowed to go, but only if you can pass through the intersection without having to stop in the middle. If traffic is filling the intersection and you’d be blocked, you must stop at the stop line or behind it and wait until there’s enough space to clear the intersection before moving. This prevents gridlock, reduces the risk of crashes, and keeps pedestrians and cross traffic safe. Do not try to speed through, turn quickly, or honk to shove traffic aside—those actions can cause accidents and aren’t safe or legal.
