What should you do if you are approaching a green traffic light and a pedestrian starts to cross the road in front of you?

  1. Proceed through the intersection without reducing speed.

  2. Stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross completely.

  3. Sound your horn to alert the pedestrian.

  4. Drive around the pedestrian and continue without stopping.

The correct answer is: Stop and wait for the pedestrian to cross completely.

When approaching a green traffic light, you should always be prepared to stop for pedestrians. If a pedestrian starts to cross the road in front of you, it is important to come to a complete stop and wait for them to cross completely. Proceeding through the intersection without reducing speed (Option A) can be dangerous as it may not give the pedestrian enough time to safely cross. Sounding your horn (Option C) can startle and scare the pedestrian, causing them to make a sudden movement and potentially lead to an accident. Driving around the pedestrian (Option D) is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injury or even death. It is important to always prioritize the safety of others on the road.
