What is the definition of a stale green light?

  1. The tire that grips the road

  2. Just turned green

  3. Green light that has been there for awhile

  4. Force with which one moving object hits another

The correct answer is: Green light that has been there for awhile

A stale green light refers to a green traffic light that has been green for a while, indicating that it may change soon. This term is important for drivers to understand because it implies that the light has been green long enough that it might be about to turn yellow. This prompts drivers to prepare to stop safely if they are unable to proceed through the intersection in time. Understanding the concept of a stale green light helps drivers anticipate changes in traffic signals and react accordingly for safe and efficient driving.
