What does it mean when a traffic signal shows a green arrow?

Answer: A — You can proceed safely in the direction of the arrow

When a traffic signal displays a green arrow, it specifically means that you can proceed safely in the direction indicated by the arrow. This signal authorizes drivers to make a turn or continue straight in that direction without fear of oncoming traffic or conflicting signals, assuming the roadway is clear and there are no restrictions. While it's important to remain cautious and vigilant, the green arrow signifies that you have the right of way only in that specific direction. It's essential during this time to be aware of any pedestrians or cyclists who might also be in the vicinity, as their right of way must be respected; however, that is not indicated by the light itself.
