Question 6987

When a lane is bounded on both sides by a double broken line and traffic on it is regulated by traffic lights, what must you do?

  1. Use it only for passing at a maximum speed of 80 km/h.
  2. Obey the indications of the lane traffic signals.
  3. Not drive in it, unless a traffic officer expressly authorizes it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Obey the indications of the lane traffic signals.

A lane with double broken lines on each side and traffic signals above it is a reversible lane, and you must obey its lane signals. A green downward arrow allows you to drive in it, and a red X prohibits you from occupying it. In the image, the signal above the blue passenger car's lane shows a green arrow. Any vehicle may use it without permission from a traffic officer, and it is for driving, not just passing.
