Question 6468
What does a lane traffic light showing a red X-shaped light indicate?
- That traffic is temporarily not allowed on the road marked in this way.
- That the roadway is closed to traffic.
- That it is prohibited to occupy the lane beneath it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That it is prohibited to occupy the lane beneath it.
A red X on a lane-control signal prohibits using the lane directly below it. If you are already driving in that lane, you must leave it as soon as you can do so safely. It does not close the roadway or the road, because each lane follows its own signal. In the image, the two lanes on the left have red Xs and the two on the right have green arrows.
