What does a green arrow traffic signal indicate?

A green arrow traffic signal indicates that you may proceed in the direction of the arrow, meaning you have the right of way to continue through the intersection in the designated direction without the need to stop for other vehicles or pedestrians. It signals that the road is clear for you to safely move ahead, and any restrictions typically associated with a red signal are lifted.

In contrast, other signals, such as red lights or yellow signals, carry different implications for driver behavior. A green arrow specifically allows for confident and direct movement while ensuring that you are following the guidelines dictated by traffic laws. Understanding this signal helps maintain smooth traffic flow and enhances safety at intersections.
