Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You drive under overhead lane signals on a busy road. The signal above your lane changes from a green arrow to a steady yellow X. What should you do?
Blue A is beneath a steady yellow X lane signal; the adjacent lane has a green downward arrow.
Correct answer: Move out of this lane as soon as you can do it safely
Why
Lane-use signals control lanes whose use changes during the day, such as reversible lanes. A green arrow means you may drive in the lane, and a white turn arrow means you may use the lane only to turn in that direction. Watch these signals early so that you can change lanes without sudden moves.
