What does a solid green traffic light indicate?

  1. Proceed with caution.

  2. Stop and wait for the light to change.

  3. Yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.

  4. Proceed if the intersection is clear.

The correct answer is: Proceed if the intersection is clear.

A solid green traffic light indicates that you are clear to proceed through the intersection if it is safe to do so. It is important to still use caution and look for any potential hazards or oncoming traffic before proceeding. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe what a solid green light indicates. Option A suggests that you should be cautious, but that would be more applicable to a flashing green light. Option B suggests that you need to come to a full stop, which would be the case for a solid red light. Option C is incorrect as it is the incorrect traffic signal for a green light, as this would be the case for a solid yellow light.
