REVERSIBLE
LANE ON MULTILANE
ROADWAY
Many city roads and expressways, and
even bridges, use reversible-lane traffic
control during rush hours.
A
red
X
light
above a lane means
no
driving
in
that
lane at that time.
A
green arrow means
you may drive in that lane.
Look
for the
signs posted to warn drivers what hours
and days these systems are
in
effect.

Pavement
Markings
Pavement markings add to traffic signs
and signals. They give information to
drivers without taking attention from the
roadway.
A
solid yellow line on your
side of the road or lane means
Don’t
Cross.

Sgnals.
Drivers signal to others,
too.
It’s not
only more polite, it’s safe to let other
drivers know what you
are
doing. And
in some places the law requires driver
signals.
Turn
and Lane Change Signals:
Always signal when you plan
to
turn
or
change lanes.
If necessary, you can use hand signals
out the window:
Left
arm
straight out
for a left
turn,
down for slow or about-
to-stop, and up for a right
turn.
Slowing
Down:
If time allows, tap the
brake pedal once or twice
in
advance of
slowing or stopping. This warns the
driver behind you.
Disabled:
Your four-way flashers signal
that your vehicle is disabled or is a
hazard.
See
the
Indm
under
Hazard
Warning Flashers.

The traffic police officer is
also
a source
of
important information. The officer’s
signals govern, no matter what the
traffic lights or other signs say.
The next section discusses some
of
the
road conditions you may encounter.
