What does a yellow "X" over the traffic lane signify?

  1. That you must move out of that lane of traffic because it is going to be used for on-coming traffic.

  2. That you may use that lane.

  3. That the lane is for left turns only.

  4. That you may use the lane but with caution.

The correct answer is: That you must move out of that lane of traffic because it is going to be used for on-coming traffic.

The presence of a yellow "X" over a traffic lane indicates that the lane is about to be used for on-coming traffic, signaling drivers that they must move out of that lane. This is a crucial safety measure designed to prevent accidents by alerting drivers that the lane is no longer safe for travel in their current direction. Moving out of the lane when encountering a yellow "X" is important to avoid potential collisions, as vehicles may be approaching from the opposite direction. In contrast, the other choices suggest permissiveness or specific uses of the lane, which is not the case when a yellow "X" is marked. The yellow "X" clearly communicates a restriction rather than an allowance.
