If a sign says 'do not proceed in the lane', what should you do?

• A. Proceed in the lane
• B. Stop in the middle of the road
• C. Speed up
• D. Stay out of that lane

Answer: (D)

When you see a sign that says do not proceed in the lane, it means that lane is closed or blocked ahead and you must not drive in it. The safe response is to stay out of that lane and move into a different lane that remains open, using a safe lane change with proper signaling and observation of traffic. If you are already in the restricted lane, slow down and exit to an open lane as soon as it’s safe to do so. This avoids conflicting with the restriction and reduces the risk of collisions or confusion for other drivers. The other options would ignore the sign or create danger, so the right action is to stay out of that lane.
