Who has the right a way the person with a green light and a green arrow pointing left or the oncoming traffic does?
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.
When at an intersection when the traffic signal is showing a red light and a green arrow?
you must stop if traveling straight...you can go which ever way the green arrow is pointing, left or right.
What does a green arrow showing at the same time as red traffic light mean you can do?
The Red Light Is Telling Everyone To Stop. The Green Arrow Is Telling You It Is Ok To Turn At That Time (Which Ever Way The Light Is Pointing).
When a traffic light shows both a red light in a green arrow in the direction you wish to turn you?
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.
What do the green arrows mean?
If you are referring to a green arrow pointing upwards at a traffic light then that is pretty much the same thing as a green light signalling for traffic to continue moving forward. Traffic is allowed to move in the direction of the arrow. Commonly used to allow "protected" left turns at an intersection while the red ball prevents traffic from going straight across the intersection.
What does a green arrow showining at the same time as a red traffic light mean?
People are allowed to turn in the direction the arrow is pointing, but they can not go straight across the road, that should really be common since.
What does a green arrow mean?
A green arrow means that (assuming the traffic lights are not malfunctioning) it is safe to turn in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the correct lane. This is different from simply a green light, which means you may turn (if the green light is for the turn lane) but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

What does a green arrow mean with a red traffic light mean?
The green arrow is what is often known as a "filter." This means vehicles are permitted to proceed with caution in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Can you turn left when the traffic light is green or do I have to wait for the green turning light?
Depends. If the light has a sign next to it that says 'Yield on green light' it means you can go when the light is green and there is no traffic coming from the opposite direction that could hit you. If there is no sign wait for the arrow.
What does a green arrow with a red light mean?
If you are in the lane governed by the arrow proceed carefully in the direction of the arrow after yielding the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians. If you do not intend to go in the direction of the arrow and you are not in that lane, you have to wait for a green arrow, or a full green light.If you are in the 'green arrow' lane by mistake, you should move anyway, or you may annoy many people.Means that you may proceed in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the proper lane and the roadway is clear.It means that you may make a move IN THE DIRECTION THE ARROW POINTS ONLY.It means that vehicles wishing to move in the direction the arrow points can go. Ayy other maneuver is prohibitted.you can turn wichever way the green arrow is pointing but you have to be in the proper lane for such a turn and you must yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians within the intersectionIf going straight, it means you must stop until the light turns green. You are permitted to turn in whatever direction the green arrow is pointing.A green arrow with a red traffic light means you have a protected turn with oncoming traffic stopped at a red light. Then when the green arrow turns yellow and then you have a green light, you have to yield to opposing traffic, but you may still make your turn when the opposing traffic has cleared.
When a traffic light shows both red light and a green arrow in the direction you wish to turn you?
