A black rectangular board with a row of amber lamps. An arrowhead points left at the left end and an arrowhead points right at the right end.

A flashing arrow board shows two arrowheads, one left and one right. What does it mean?

  1. You must turn around
  2. You must pass on the left only
  3. The lane ahead is closed. You may pass on either side
  4. You must stop and wait
Show answer

Correct answer: The lane ahead is closed. You may pass on either side

Two arrowheads mean a lane is closed or something blocks the road. It is safe to pass on either side of the board.
