Question 5056

Lane selection arrows...

  1. require drivers to follow the indicated direction or directions, but authorize a lane change if the signs and markings allow it.
  2. require drivers to follow the directions indicated by the arrows, always prohibiting lane changes.
  3. recommend following the directions indicated by the arrows.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: require drivers to follow the indicated direction or directions, but authorize a lane change if the signs and markings allow it.

The arrows in a lane require you to follow the direction they show, or one of those directions if there are several. They are not advice. You may change lanes as long as the lines are broken, and an arrow that includes going straight does not prevent you from doing so if you continue in the same direction of travel.
