What does a green light allow you to do at an intersection?

A green light at an intersection signals that you have the right of way to proceed through the intersection, provided that it is safe to do so. This means you can continue driving in your intended direction without needing to stop, assuming there are no other hazards or traffic conflicts present. It's important to ensure that the intersection is clear and that you are not endangering yourself or others by entering when it is unsafe.

While other options may seem plausible, they do not reflect the primary purpose of a green light, which is to indicate that drivers can go. Stopping to look both ways or only turning left are actions based on specific circumstances or traffic controls, and speeding up is not a recommended or legal response to a green light, as safety should always take precedence.
