What does a green downward-pointing arrow on a lane traffic light indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A green downward arrow on a lane traffic light (usually square) indicates that drivers are allowed to drive in the lane over which it is lit. However, it is crucial to remember that this signal does not grant right of way. The driver must still respect general priority rules (such as yielding to the right if there are no signs) and obey any other existing signage, such as a circular red traffic light or a STOP sign. It also does not strictly oblige the driver to stay in that lane; they may change lanes if road markings allow it.
