In a lane control signal (square traffic light), what exactly does a lit green arrow pointing downwards indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that the lane is open for traffic, but signs and preference rules must still be obeyed. It is vital to understand that lane control signals (square lights located above lanes) regulate lane usage, not right of way. The green arrow allows you to use that lane, but it does not grant you priority over other users, nor does it exempt you from obeying other signs such as a STOP sign, a Give Way sign, or a circular red traffic light that may be present at an intersection. The option mentioning 'preference' is incorrect because the green arrow does not grant special right-of-way privileges over other vehicles.
