When the light turns green, you should:

  1. Sit and wait for a few seconds

  2. Turn on your signal to make a turn

  3. Proceed, if the path is clear

  4. Stop and wait for the next light

The correct answer is: Proceed, if the path is clear

When the light turns green, it means that it is safe for you to proceed through the intersection. Option A is incorrect because it is not necessary to wait a few seconds unless there is heavy traffic. Option B is incorrect because you should only use your signal to make a turn when you are approaching the intersection and preparing to turn. Option D is incorrect because stopping at a green light without a valid reason can cause confusion and disrupt the flow of traffic.
