What does a green arrow signal mean?

• A. You may proceed straight ahead.
• B. You must stop and yield.
• C. You may turn in any direction.
• D. You may proceed in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to pedestrians and other traffic as needed.

Answer: (D)

A green arrow signals a protected turn in the direction of the arrow. You have the right of way to complete that turn, since opposing traffic is stopped by the red light for that lane. But you still need to be careful and yield to pedestrians crossing the street you’re turning onto and to any other traffic that may be in the intersection or entering it. So, you may proceed in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to pedestrians and other traffic as needed. The other options don’t fit: proceeding straight ahead isn’t guaranteed by a green arrow, a green arrow doesn’t mean you must stop, and you can’t turn in any direction—only the direction of the arrow is allowed.
