Green is just the color that was denoted to alert drivers to proceed or to commence movement.
Wait for the traffic light to turn green the proceed carefully...
Normally a Red "stop" light requires the car to come to a stop and it can only proceed FORWARD if the light changes to green Or if it is a blinking Red light then they can proceed when traffic clears the intersection. Right Turn on Red allows you to come to a complete stop and then proceed to turn Right if the traffic allows. This allows you to proceed even though you do not have a Green light.
Only if there is no opposing traffic to wait for, you can not turn in front of traffic.
You don't have to wait any amount of time when the light turns green, when the light turns green that means the intersection is safe for you to proceed.
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.
Signal your intention to turn - wait for all opposing traffic to clear - make certain you can complete the turn in safety - make your turn.

The green light on a traffic light means to go ahead. If you "get the green light," you have permission to move ahead on whatever project you are dealing with.
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.
If the aircraft is in flight, a steady green light signal from the control tower means cleared to land. If the aircraft is on the ground, it means cleared for takeoff. If the light is aimed at ground vehicles or foot traffic, steady green means cleared to cross the runway, or proceed.
A yellow light is a statement of limited approval or permission to proceed on a task, or the light seen between the green and red light on a set of tricolour traffic lights.
