Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
The lane-control signal above your lane changes to a steady yellow X. What should you do?

Correct answer: Leave the lane safely before the red X appears.
Why
A yellow X warns that the lane-control signal will change to red. Check traffic, signal, and leave the lane safely before the red X appears. Do not make an abrupt lane change or force another driver to yield.
