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.
At some intersections there are no lights at all for the crossing
traffic, just a stop sign. At others, most of the time the lights will
stay in this mode on the main street and would change to red only if
there's a real backup on the cross streets.

Ok, that makes sense. So you have a green to go (I figured that out
watching others) but the cross traffic does not have a solid red (i.e.
they may go if they think they can). Thanks!
