What does a white arrow lane sign indicate?

• A. You may use the lane if you are facing sign
• B. Lane closed to traffic facing the sign
• C. Braking
• D. Change lane in direction shown

Answer: (A)

Lane-use signs with a white arrow show which movements are allowed in that lane. The arrow indicates the direction you must go from that lane, so you may use the lane if you are facing the sign and your intended movement matches the arrow. If you’re approaching from the opposite direction or you plan to go in a different direction, that lane isn’t for you. This isn’t about braking or about a lane being closed, and it doesn’t require you to change lanes just because you see an arrow. It simply tells you which direction is permitted from that particular lane.
