The green lead on lights illuminate and the red stop bar extinguishes. Continue your takeoff.
The green lead on lights illuminate and red stop bar stays illuminated. Anticipated separation timing will extinguish the red stop momentarily. Continue your takeoff.
The green lead on lights are notamed out of service and the red stop bar remains illuminated. Continue to line up and wait but do not take off until verifying takeoff clearance with tower.
