Steady Green Signal
If the roadway is clear, after yielding the right of way to other vehicles and pedestrians lawfully within the intersection, you may go straight or turn left or turn right, unless such turns are prohibited. Left turns on a green light must yield to through traffic coming from the opposite direction.

Steady Yellow Signal
A yellow light means the traffic signal is about to turn red. Stop if you can do so safely. A vehicle may clear an intersection on a red light, if the vehicle entered the intersection while the signal was yellow; but it is against the law to enter an intersection after the light turns red.

Steady Red Signal
A red light means “stop” behind a crosswalk or stop line until the green light appears. You may turn right after stopping if there is no approaching traffic unless a sign is posted prohibiting such right turns. Even though the light is red, a turn is permitted from a one-way street into the nearest lane of another one-way street running in the direction of that turn.
