Mr. TomCould you please tell me ~~the natural~~ what words/phrases naturally collocate with the word signal?

I'm sure there are many!

Mr. TomAre these okay? ~~fine?~~

"Fine" is not used in a question like that.

Mr. TomA - What are you waiting for?

Mr. TomB - I'm waiting for the ~~green~~ light to turn green.

I'm afraid I don't understand the rest.
Try,
I'm waiting for the light to change.

Thanks, teecher.

...but doesn't fine mean satisfactory?

The grammar is fine but the sentence is not natural.

Are these sentences fine? (natural, okay, acceptable?)

Mr. Tom...but doesn't fine mean satisfactory?

Yes, it does, but "fine" is only used in the positive (not the negative or the interrogative) version of that sentence.

Those sentences are fine. [ natural ]
Those sentences are not fine. [ unnatural ]
Are those sentences fine? [ unnatural ]
