What does a steady downward green arrow over a reversible lane tell you?
- You may drive in the lane below it
- The lane is reserved for emergency vehicles
- You must leave that lane immediately
- Traffic may use the lane only to pass
Answer: You may drive in the lane below it. A steady downward green arrow authorizes travel in the lane directly beneath the signal. It is a lane-use instruction, not a direction to turn or a special passing permission. A yellow X signals that the lane is changing and drivers should prepare to move, while a red X means the lane cannot be occupied. Watch the overhead display as conditions change, especially where lanes reverse direction during busy periods. The practical cue is simple: green arrow means the lane is available; the color and symbol govern access before any pavement marking does.
