What precautions should you take when entering an intersection on a green light?

Naturally one (experienced driver) always has to be aware of suroundings, keep eyes peeled to intersections re: cars who may run red light and go through your green. Green doesn't mean go, it means go when safe and logical...and don't doddle, either. Anticipate early, experience and years on road are the only safe bet. New drivers do not have the proper brain capacity and logical know how/anticipation of danger awareness, basically big empty zeroes........Never assume green means clear as a bell, go for it full steam ahead, always wonder what the idiot who could run the red and T bone you into a slice of bologna could possibly be doing (eating?, on cell phone? texting? just stupid?, etc.)
Also watch for:
- pedestrians in crosswalks
- jay-walkers
- children
- stopped school buses
- other road hazards

What should you do when the light turns red and you are in the middle of an intersection about to turn left?
If you're in the intersection and it is green then turns to yellow/red, it is fine to go. Entering the intersection after it is already yellow is unlawful driving. GA
Can you pass or cross the center line within 100 feet of an intersection?
It is generally not allowed to pass or cross the center line within 100 feet of an intersection. This is to ensure safety and prevent collisions with vehicles entering or exiting the intersection.
When you have a green light but cross traffic is blocking the intersection what should you do?
Wait until the intersection clears up so you can pass it. Common sense, you wouldn't want to drive into them just because the green light told you to.
What does a red light mean?
It means you should stop and wait for a green light to go through the intersection.

What is controlled intersections?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).
What is a partially controlled intersection?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution.

How does a trafffic light work?
A traffic light is placed at an intersection of two or more roadways. Each approach of the intersection has at least one signal head with three bulbs (red, yellow, and green) facing it. Cars approaching the intersection can go through it if the light facing them is green and cannot go through it when the light is red. Signals go from green to yellow (to slow down for the red) to red and then back to green. Only one of the two roads at a signalized intersection can have a green light at one time and the traffic on the other road must wait for the light facing them to turn green.
