Question: A green arrow above a lane means what?
Answer options:
- Lane is closed ✅ Lane is open to traffic in your direction
- Right turn only
- HOV lane
Correct answer: Lane is open to traffic in your direction
Explanation: Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, a steady downward-pointing green arrow overhead indicates that the lane is open to traffic in your direction. Conversely, a red "X" signal indicates a closed lane that drivers must not enter, while HOV lanes are designated by a white diamond symbol, and turn-only lanes rely on specific regulatory signs or road markings. Understanding these overhead lane-control signals is crucial for navigating multi-lane highways and bridges where lane direction can change dynamically. On the G1 exam, candidates must identify these symbols to demonstrate a safe understanding of active traffic management and highway lane safety.
