Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are in the right lane of a highway with signals above each lane. The signal above your lane changes from a green arrow to a steady yellow X. What should you do?
A is in the right highway lane under a steady yellow X. The adjacent left lane is empty and has a green downward lane-control arrow.
Correct answer: Move safely out of the lane, since it will soon close to traffic
Why
State law says a steady yellow X warns that the lane signal is about to change to a steady red X. Signal, check your mirror and blind spot, and merge into a lane under a green arrow while you still have time. If you wait until the last moment, traffic in the next lane may leave you no gap.
