A steady green circular vehicle traffic light controls your movement at a junction. With no conflicting officer instruction, what does it mean?

Correct answer

Permits passage with priority, without entering if you would foreseeably block the junction.

It permits passage with priority but does not remove the duty of care. Do not enter if you can foresee becoming stopped and blocking cross traffic, even with green. It does not authorise endangering pedestrians or other users: the applicable protection and priority duties still apply when turning. A circular green light differs from a green arrow, which requires care and yielding to vehicles in the lane being joined.
