What does a green arrow mean?

• A. You must yield to oncoming traffic
• B. Stop completely
• C. That you have the right of way
• D. Prepare to stop

Answer: (C)

Green arrow signals a protected turn: you may proceed in the direction of the arrow and you have the right of way for that specific turn. Opposing traffic is stopped for that phase, so you don’t have to wait for gaps in cross traffic to complete the turn. Just watch for pedestrians in the crosswalk and any vehicles already in the intersection as you proceed. It’s not a blanket statement about all traffic rights, only about the movement shown by the arrow, and it’s not a cue to stop—that would be a red or yellow signal.
