When turning left at an intersection with a green arrow, you have the right of way over oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
A left turn made on a green arrow indicates that drivers have a protected turn, meaning they can turn left without yielding to oncoming traffic or pedestrians. The green arrow signals that it is safe to proceed, as other vehicles are typically stopped by red lights. However, drivers should still be cautious and watch for any potential hazards, such as pedestrians or cyclists in the intersection.

A yellow arrow at an intersection means that the signal is about to change from green to red, and you should prepare to stop or yield to oncoming traffic.
When you approach a green light and intend to turn left without a green arrow, you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. Ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding, and wait for a safe gap in traffic. Use your turn signal to indicate your intention, and make your turn only when it is safe to do so. Always be cautious and aware of any potential hazards while turning.
you must stop if traveling straight...you can go which ever way the green arrow is pointing, left or right.
A yellow arrow signal at a traffic intersection means that the signal is about to change from green to red, and you should prepare to stop if you are able to do so safely.

When the light turns green at an intersection, the vehicles that have the right of way are those going straight or turning right. They should proceed first before vehicles turning left or pedestrians crossing the street.
When you have a green arrow or a green light indicating that you can turn left.
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.
It means that you may make the indicated turn on a permissive basis, after yielding to conflicting vehicles and pedestrians. This is usually the same as turning on the circular green, but the flashing yellow arrow can be displayed at times when the straight ahead movement can not be given a green light. The purpose is to eliminate a dangerous condition called yellow trap. It occurs when the circular green is used to allow permissive turns, and one circular green ends sooner than the oncoming circular green. The left turning driver receiving the earlier yellow light tries to turn across traffic that still has a green light, causing an accident. The flashing yellow arrow can keep flashing until the oncoming green gets a yellow, allowing the driver to turn safely.
A solid yellow arrow at a traffic light means that the signal is about to change from a green arrow to a red arrow and you should prepare to stop. It usually indicates that you should clear the intersection if you are already in it, but not make any new turns.
