What does a green arrow mean?

A green arrow indicates that you are allowed to proceed in the direction that the arrow points, providing a clear signal that movement in that direction is permitted and safe. This traffic signal is often found at intersections, where it may indicate that a driver can turn left or right without needing to yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, depending on the specific traffic control rules at that intersection.

In the context of traffic regulations, the green arrow serves as an assurance that the way is clear, and it is the driver’s responsibility to proceed safely while observing any other relevant traffic signs or regulations. Other signaling options would include stop signs or red signals, which indicate that drivers must halt their vehicles, or yield signs, which require drivers to give way to opposing traffic or pedestrians.
