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 the Quebec Highway Safety Code, overhead lane-control signals regulate variable traffic lanes. A steady downward-pointing green arrow indicates the lane is open to traffic in your direction, ensuring safe use of the road. In contrast, a red X indicates a closed lane, while right turns and high-occupancy vehicle lanes are designated by specific regulatory signs or diamond pavement markings rather than overhead arrow signals. Recognizing these overhead-control signals is a critical concept tested on the SAAQ theory exam to ensure drivers can safely navigate reversible lanes and avoid oncoming traffic.
