Overhead lane control lights over a three-lane road: a red X over two lanes and a green arrow over one lane. A car moves to the lane with the green arrow

A red X shows over your lane. What must you do?

  1. Stay in the lane and drive slowly.
  2. Stop and wait for a green light.
  3. Move into a lane that has a green arrow.
  4. Use the lane only to turn.
Show answer

Correct answer: Move into a lane that has a green arrow.

Oncoming traffic uses a lane that has a red X. You must not drive in it. Change to a lane with a green arrow.
