When proceeding on a steady green arrow, what must you do at the intersection?
- Assume pedestrians must wait because the arrow gives absolute priority
- Stop before the intersection until the arrow changes to yellow
- Yield the right of way to pedestrians in the intersection
- Yield only to vehicles coming toward you
Answer: Yield the right of way to pedestrians in the intersection. A steady green arrow permits movement in the arrow's direction, but it does not remove the duty to watch for people in the intersection. Pedestrians still have the right of way, so check the crosswalk and yield before proceeding through their path. The idea that the arrow gives absolute priority ignores that pedestrian protection remains in force. Waiting for yellow would defeat the indication, and yielding only to oncoming vehicles overlooks the specific hazard named by the rule. Treat the arrow as permission to proceed cautiously, not as permission to stop scanning.
