Explanation
A green arrow means you can turn in the direction indicated by the arrow. There should be no oncoming or crossing vehicles while the arrow is green. However, it is important to proceed with caution and turn left only when the intersection is clear. The green arrow indicates that you have the right of way, but you still need to make sure the way is clear before making the turn.
