What does a steady green light at an intersection indicate?

• A. The intersection is clear; you may proceed without stopping.
• B. The traffic in the direction shown may proceed, but you must yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right-of-way.
• C. All vehicles must stop and wait for a green arrow.
• D. You may turn left without yielding to oncoming traffic.

Answer: (B)

A steady green light means you may proceed through the intersection, but you must yield to pedestrians and to any vehicles that have the right of way. In other words, going on green is allowed, but you can’t ignore people in crosswalks or vehicles that are already in or approaching the intersection with priority. If you’re turning, you still need to check for oncoming traffic and pedestrians and only proceed when it’s safe, unless there’s a protected left-turn signal.

This is why the described behavior fits best: you’re allowed to go, but you must respect those who have the right of way. The other ideas—saying you can go without stopping at all, requiring everyone to stop, or turning left without yielding to oncoming traffic—don’t match how a steady green functions in real traffic.
