What should you do if you encounter a flashing green traffic light?

  1. Proceed with caution.

  2. Prepare to stop.

  3. Yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.

  4. Make a left turn if it is safe to do so.

The correct answer is: Proceed with caution.

A flashing green traffic light means that you can proceed with caution, but this doesn't mean speed through the intersection. The other options are incorrect because B: Prepare to stop is incorrect because a flashing green light does not mean you need to stop. C: Yielding the right-of-way to oncoming traffic may apply in other situations, but not specifically when encountering a flashing green light. D: Making a left turn if it is safe to do so is incorrect because this answer only applies if you are turning left, not if you are proceeding straight through the intersection.
