Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are driving in slow rush-hour traffic on a street with a signal over each lane. The lane to your left is empty, and the signal over it shows a steady red X. What does the red X mean?
Correct answer: You must not drive in that lane, because it may be carrying traffic in the other direction.
Why
On streets with reversible lanes, the direction of a lane can change at different times of day, often for rush hour, and a signal over each lane shows which lanes you may use. Signs may also show the direction of each lane. An empty lane under a red X is not a free lane: it may soon fill with oncoming vehicles.
