Explanation
A green arrow at a traffic light means you may proceed in the direction of the arrow. This type of signal is commonly used to indicate that a protected turn is allowed - meaning oncoming traffic is stopped or otherwise controlled. Always proceed with caution, use the correct lane, and watch for pedestrians or other road users who may be crossing your path. Yield to anyone still in the intersection before making your turn.
