Wait for a green light

The correct answer is: Stop, yield to traffic already on the roadway and to pedestrians

When entering a road from a driveway, it is essential to stop and yield to any traffic that is already on the roadway, as well as to pedestrians who may be in the vicinity. This action ensures safety for both the driver and those who may be on foot or traveling in vehicles. Yielding helps to prevent collisions by guaranteeing that the driver only enters the roadway when it is safe to do so. It's important to be aware of the specific flow of traffic, as traffic already on the main road has the right-of-way. Additionally, giving pedestrians the right-of-way is crucial, especially in residential areas where pedestrians may be more prevalent. By stopping and yielding, a driver promotes a safer interaction with other road users, reducing the risk of accidents.
