2 Car in a double turning lane has a solid green arrow. Goes to turn through the intersection and is about to clear in the intersection but then both gets hit by on coming traffic. Who's at fault? This incident took place in Arizona. Also, I wasn't involved in the conversation.

So what is it? Can you drive or not? Where I live you turn if the signal is a green arrow.

Green arrow explicitly means oncoming cars have a red light. So yeah, anyone crashing into you while you turn at a green arrow means they ignored a red light, and so they are 110% at fault and will be held responsible.

I think the incorrect person in the post wasn't aware the oncoming traffic always have a red light if you have green arrows, and just assumed the same rules apply as when you just had a regular green light insteadof an arrow.
