The answer, explained

A green guide sign gives route, direction, or destination information. Read its names, arrows, and other details to plan where to go.

The pictured example directs drivers toward named destinations at the next left. Those example names illustrate navigation information; they do not turn the sign into a speed limit or a command to enter without checking traffic.

A common mistake

Treating a green guide sign like a green traffic signal can make you overlook the controls at the actual turn.
