it means the traffic directly opposing you [coming at you] will have a longer green than you......not the cross traffic.........this is usually due to a left turn signal for the opposing traffic!

Opposing Traffic is traffic that is coming from the opposite direction.
For example - you are going eastbound on a highway. The opposing traffic is traveling westbound.
Now about the extended green part. It just basically means that the opposing traffic - "westbound traffic" is going to have a green light longer than the eastbound traffic.

It means that traffic approaching you may have the green light after your light is red, it's there to prevent people from trying to turn left after the light is red, assuming that oncoming traffic will stop, when it may be possible their light is still green, increasing the possibility for a collision. There are a lot of lights like this where I live, where just because it's green on one side doesn't mean it's green on the other.

this just simply means the green light will stay green longer for some of the traffic than it will the other,this is supposed to help stop traffic congestion on certain highways,and i suppose it works ,some times, but that's what it means.good luck,hope this help,s.

ummm.... can it get much clearer? it has nothing to do with them having a big fatty rolled up and waiting for a spark, the traffic in the opposite direction (opposing traffic) has a long (extended) green (green) light. should you be driving?
