look both ways carefully.
If the green arrow shows for the direction you want to turn then you obey the green arrow, the red light is for all other traffic. The green arrow basically overrules the red light for the direction of the arrow.
Normally, the green arrow would indicate that the opposing traffic has a red light and as such the green arrow traffic has right of way.However, due to mechanical or planning errors it is possible that the opposing traffic will also have a green light. If this happens, the opposing traffic (by virtue of going straight) has right of way. If this opposing traffic does not appear to be stopping, green arrow traffic should assume that opposing traffic has a green arrow and right of way. In the event of a collision when both have green, green arrow traffic (turning left) will be found at fault except in no-fault states where this will be considered a no-fault accident.
You may turn in the direction the arrow is indicating. No other maeuvers are allowed.

It means that either turns can be made in the direction shown by the green light or that a stop must be made before turning in the direction shown. Either way, turns are permitted.
Both of you ! The pedestrian is at fault for not obeying the traffic signals and you are at fault for not paying enough attention to what's around you while driving. A green light is not an automatic right to proceed - it's a priority signal !

3 point turn
Traffic signals at intersections are installed to provide for the smooth flow of traffic and avoid accidents. The motorists with the green light have the right to expect that they can proceed through the intersection safely although defensive driving tells us we should always look both ways in case any other motorist is driving through the red light.
