Correct answer: It indicates that once you pass it, the roadway is open to traffic again.

In the image, the Civil Guard officer on the motorcycle is carrying a green flag. It means that once the officer’s vehicle passes, the roadway is open to traffic again and you may proceed behind it with caution. A red flag closes the roadway, and a yellow flag calls for extra attention.
