Arkansas Driving Permit Practice Test

What should you do at a green traffic light?

1. Stop

2. Proceed if no opposing traffic

3. Yield

4. Speed up

The correct answer is: Proceed if no opposing traffic

At a green traffic light, the correct action to take is to proceed if no opposing traffic. When the traffic light is green, it indicates that you have the right of way to continue through the intersection as long as it is safe to do so. You should still be cautious and watch for other vehicles or pedestrians that may not adhere to traffic signals. Stopping at a green light (Option A) would disrupt the flow of traffic and could potentially cause confusion or even accidents. Yielding (Option C) would be necessary when facing a yield sign or when merging into traffic but is not the proper action at a green light. Speeding up (Option D) when the light turns green is dangerous, as it may not give you enough time to react to any unexpected changes in traffic conditions.
