What should you do if you're approaching an intersection and your traffic signal in green?

Come to a complete stop
Increase your speed
Yield to vehicles already in the intersection
Proceed through the intersection

The correct answer is: Proceed through the intersection

If the traffic signal is green, it means that you have the right of way to proceed through the intersection. Coming to a complete stop (option A) or increasing your speed (option B) could potentially cause an accident if other drivers are expecting you to continue through the intersection. Yielding to vehicles already in the intersection (option C) is typically only necessary if your signal is yellow or red and you want to turn. Otherwise, with a green signal, you have the right to continue through the intersection.
