When may you proceed after a traffic light turns green?

When the light turns green, it's important to proceed after checking for pedestrians and vehicles still in the intersection to ensure safety for all road users. This step helps to prevent potential accidents, as even though the traffic signal indicates that it's your turn to go, there may be people crossing the street or vehicles that have not yet cleared the intersection.

By checking for pedestrians, you ensure that you do not inadvertently put someone's safety at risk, especially if there is a crosswalk present. Similarly, vehicles may still be violating traffic laws or may not have cleared the intersection in time.

This careful approach promotes responsible driving habits and contributes to overall traffic safety, reducing the risks associated with proceeding into an intersection without proper awareness. Taking the time to look around before advancing means that you are not only following traffic laws but also being considerate of others on the road.
