What must be done at a steady green traffic light?

  1. Stop

  2. Look both ways and proceed when it is safe

  3. Wait for a yellow light

  4. Increase speed

The correct answer is: Look both ways and proceed when it is safe

At a steady green traffic light, you should look both ways and proceed when it is safe. This means that you should not stop, as option A suggests, since a green light indicates that it is safe to proceed. Option C, waiting for a yellow light, is incorrect because this would require stopping at the intersection, which is not necessary at a steady green light. Option D, increasing speed, is also incorrect as it may lead to reckless driving and accidents. The safest and correct option is to look both ways and proceed with caution.
