Lane arrows

What does a white arrow painted in your lane mean?

1. It is only a suggestion
2. The street ahead is one-way
3. You may move only in the direction of the arrow (Correct answer) ✓
4. The lane is for buses only

Explanation: Lane arrows are rules, not advice. Get into the lane whose arrow matches where you want to go before you reach the intersection.

In this picture, which lane may you use to go straight through the intersection?

1. The left lane
2. The right lane
3. The middle lane (Correct answer) ✓
4. Any of the three lanes

Explanation: Each lane arrow shows the only direction allowed from that lane. Here the left lane is for left turns, the middle lane for going straight and the right lane for right turns.

Your lane has a left-turn arrow, but you want to go straight. It is too late to change lanes safely. What should you do?

1. Go straight from the left-turn lane
2. Stop and wait for a gap to switch lanes
3. Turn left as the arrow shows, then find another way (Correct answer) ✓
4. Cut into the straight lane inside the intersection

Explanation: A lane arrow means you may move only in the direction it shows. If you end up in the wrong lane, follow the arrow and choose a new route instead of making an unsafe move.
