Flashing green means that the crossing traffic has a stop sign (or a
flashing red, which is the same) instead of a red light. You still have
right of way but you can expect cars coming out of the side streets
turning left or right.

The average American driver could not figure that out. I was nearly hit
today by an 18-wheeler who ran a red light. I looked up at the driver and
he was laughing and jawjacking on his cellphone, operating the rig with one
hand.
