As you drive toward an intersection, you notice the signal has stayed green for quite a while. How should you respond?

Answer options

Why

A signal that has stayed green for a while could turn yellow at any moment, perhaps just as you arrive. Slowing early gives a heavy vehicle the extra room it needs to stop smoothly if the light changes.
