What does a steady green light at a circular vehicle traffic signal mean?

Correct answer

It permits passage with priority, while respecting other applicable safety and give-way duties.

It permits passage with priority, subject to article 59.1: do not enter a junction or pedestrian crossing if you are likely to stop and obstruct crossing traffic. It does not grant absolute priority for every manoeuvre; when turning into another road with pedestrians crossing it, give way under article 65.1.b. Follow officers’ orders and avoid danger. Steady green differs from a green arrow on a black background, which has its own conditions.
