Question

class e general knowledge question #15 / 50
when you approach an intersection with a green traffic light, you should
select a letter to choose your answer.
a always keep your speed at the speed limit.
b approach at a speed that will allow you to stop if the light changes.
c be ready to speed up if the light turns yellow.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Maintaining speed at the limit regardless of the situation (like a green light potentially changing) is unsafe, as intersections can have changing conditions or the light might turn yellow/red suddenly.
• Option B: Approaching at a speed that allows stopping if the light changes is a safe driving practice. It accounts for the possibility of the green light turning yellow or red, ensuring you can react appropriately.
• Option C: Speeding up when the light turns yellow is dangerous and violates traffic safety principles, as yellow means to prepare to stop, not speed up.

Answer:

B. Approach at a speed that will allow you to stop if the light changes.
