Green left arrow signal: What is required of you when the signal shows a green arrow like this one?

Answer options

Why

A green arrow gives you a protected movement in the direction it points, but it does not let you ignore anyone still in your path. Before you go, yield to every vehicle, bicyclist, and pedestrian that is already in the intersection.
