This is a great thread!

I'm guessing you live in a state that does not have right-turn-on-red. The lights are giving you permission to do so.

I have these type of lights all over near me. The green arrow means just go. Stopping is not required. If it was just red with no green arrow then you'd stop before making the right turn.
