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.

Can you make a left turn at a traffic signal with a left turn arrow and the left turn arrow has gone off?
yes you can if the signal shows full green for traffic proceeding the same direction your car is/was travelling - but you cant if the arrow is red. if there is no arrow it means that you can turn if you feel that it is safe to.
When is the only time you have the right-of-way turning left?

Are there amber left turn arrow lights?
Yes, I have seen them in various locations but usually only at high-volume intersections, and then - only when the left turn FOLLOWS the green bulls-eye.More: Every green arrow is required to be ended with a yellow arrow. Only if the green and arrow always end at the same time can a circular yellow end a green arrow.
When you come to an left turn green arrow and it turns but the main light is green do you have to wait for the green light to come on again?
If you are referencing the "green arrow" to come on again, no, but you are suppose to "yield" to oncoming traffic, especially, more than likely, they have a green light to go. For example, if you are heading north in the north lane and a car is heading south on the south lane, but gets in the turning lane to make a left turn and there is no green arrow but their light is green, it is legal to turn, but you have to yield to oncoming traffic, make sure oncoming traffic is clear before you go out in the road. If not, it could cause a major accident.Added to clarify: If the green left arrow goes out and is replaced by a red left arrow or a red bullseye clearly meant to control the left turn lane, THEN you must wait until the next green arrow in order to make your turn.

What are the rules for the separate left turn signals in New Jersey how does these differ from each other 1 normal signal 2 separate left turn signal 3 signal with left on green arrow only sign?
Normal signal: Turn left if the signal is green and there is no on coming traffic from the other side. Separate left turn signal: Turn left if the arrow is green. Do not wait for the on coming traffic. It is intended to move traffic through from the left lane. If the arrow is red or yellow, but the main signal is green, you may still turn left, but must yield to on coming traffic from the other side. Left on green arrow only: You must not turn left until the small arrow is green. Many drivers from out of state are confused by this, but if obeyed well, the traffic has the highest flow possibility using these principles. Out of state drivers tend to stay parked at the Separate left turn signal, if it is red or yellow, even when there is no on coming traffic and the main signal is green. It is a better safe than sorry approach, but it slows down traffic in the big picture.
If you are in a single left turn lane can you turn into the right lane with a green arrow?
Yes, of course you can, this should tell you that in your driver's hand book, when you go for your driver exam ( written and test drive) it would be a good idea to know all there is to know about the rules and regulations of the road or you will fail.Another view: If you are at an intersection where the left turn is clearly controlled by a signal (e.g.: red and green left turn arrows), it makes no difference whether there is oncoming traffic or not. You must wait for the green arrow signifying a legal left turn.However - if you are at an intersection where there IS a left-turn green arrow which goes out after a short time and there is NO red arrow present, THEN you may turn left when the green bullseye light controlling regular traffic is displayed and there is no oncoming traffic.
