When making a left turn at an intersection on a green light you must:

  1. Drive straight

  2. Yield to pedestrians

  3. Yield to oncoming traffic

  4. Come to a complete stop

The correct answer is: Yield to oncoming traffic

When making a left turn at an intersection on a green light, you must yield to oncoming traffic. This means that you need to wait for any vehicles that are approaching from the opposite direction before turning. Option A, driving straight, is incorrect as it is not relevant to making a left turn. Option B, yielding to pedestrians, is only necessary when pedestrians have the right of way or are crossing the street. Option D, coming to a complete stop, is not necessary if you have a green light. However, it is important to check for any pedestrians or oncoming vehicles before proceeding with the left turn.
