As you approach a controlled intersection with a green light, you should slow down and prepare to yield to any pedestrians or vehicles that may be crossing. Ensure that the intersection is clear before proceeding, and be aware of any potential hazards or vehicles that might run a red light. Always be ready to stop if necessary, and maintain a safe speed as you enter 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 should you do when you approach an intersection and the traffic light changes from green to yellow?
When approaching an intersection and the traffic light changes from green to yellow, you should assess your distance from the intersection and your speed. If you can safely stop without skidding, it’s best to do so to avoid entering the intersection on red. However, if you are too close to stop safely, you should proceed through the intersection cautiously. Always be alert for other vehicles or pedestrians that might act unpredictably during this transition.
What is a partially controlled intersection?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic.

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.

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.
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
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 it mean when you see a yellow arrow at an intersection?
A yellow arrow at an intersection means that the signal is about to change from green to red, and you should prepare to stop or yield to oncoming traffic.
What does a red light mean?
It means you should stop and wait for a green light to go through the intersection.
Who has the right of way at an intersection when the light turns green?
When the light turns green at an intersection, the vehicles that have the right of way are those going straight or turning right. They should proceed first before vehicles turning left or pedestrians crossing the street.
At an intersection with a traffic light that turns from green to yellow the driver should?

What does a yellow arrow signal mean when displayed at a traffic intersection?
A yellow arrow signal at a traffic intersection means that the signal is about to change from green to red, and you should prepare to stop if you are able to do so safely.
What should you do when you approach a red light?
You must STOP, and wait until GREEN then GO.
