What does the red arrow lane sign indicate?

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

Answer: (D)

Red lane-control signs show a prohibition for that lane. When you see this sign, the lane ahead is closed to traffic moving in the direction you’re traveling toward the sign. You must not use that lane and should merge into an open lane ahead. The sign isn’t telling you to brake or to stay in place; it’s restricting use of the lane. The other options don’t fit because they imply permission or a different action, whereas this sign strictly indicates the lane is not available in your direction.
