If you encounter a green flashing light, which action is NOT permitted?

A green flashing light means you may proceed through the intersection, but you must do so with caution and be prepared to yield to pedestrians and oncoming traffic as needed. Because the signal is showing you that movement is allowed, stopping and waiting at the light is not appropriate. You can go straight or make a turn when it’s safe, as long as you check for pedestrians and any vehicles in or entering the intersection. If there are signs, lanes, or arrows indicating a restricted movement, follow those, but the flashing green itself does not require stopping.
