A traffic signal indicating that it is safe to proceed (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

green light

(Other definitions for green light that I've seen before include "something to go on" , "Sanction" , "Go-ahead" , "Signal for go" , "Signal of consent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
