What is the legal meaning of a solid circular green traffic light at an intersection in South Carolina?
The answer
Answer: D. The South Carolina manual states on page 191 that a green signal means you may proceed with caution, but it does not guarantee safe passage. Drivers must look in both directions and yield to pedestrians and opposing traffic. Facing a green light does not relieve a driver of the legal obligation to yield to vehicles or pedestrians lawfully remaining in the intersection.

What does a solid yellow traffic signal light indicate when it follows a green light?
The answer
Answer: D. A yellow light is a warning that the signal is about to change to red. Motorists approaching the intersection should slow down and prepare to stop. If you are already within the intersection, clear it as quickly as possible. If you are too close to the intersection to stop safely without skidding into cross traffic, proceed cautiously through the intersection.
