Which statement describes the meaning of a red arrow lane sign?

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

Answer: (D)

Red arrow lane signs show a prohibition in that lane. The red color signals you must not use the lane, and the arrow indicates which lane is affected. So the lane is closed to traffic facing the sign. You should plan to merge into an open lane in a safe, early manner and follow any other signs or instructions. The statement about using the lane if you’re facing the sign is incorrect because the red arrow means the lane is not available. The idea of changing lane in the direction shown is not what this sign communicates—it’s about the lane being closed, not about following the arrow to switch into that lane. The option about braking is unrelated to lane-control signs.
