Lane-use control signals are special signals posted by the side of the road or overhead. They indicate whether you should or should not drive in a specific lane. A green arrow means you can use the lane. A red X means you cannot. A flashing yellow X means the lane is only for turning. A steady yellow X means that the use of the lane is changing and you should move out of it when it is safe to do so.

# 3: When you see a sign with this shape and color, you must:

Stop completely and yield. Stop and wait for a green light. Use your horn. Slow down to a crawl.

An eight-sided sign with red background is a stop sign. You must make a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians. You may not proceed until it is safe to do so. Make sure the way is clear. You must be able to completely pass through the intersection. Remember to learn the meaning of shapes and colors if you are studying for your DMV test.

Use caution and be prepared to merge into one lane ahead. Not pass other vehicles for any reason. Keep in the right-hand lane when driving slower than other vehicles. Use the right-hand lane for passing.

Unless it seems safe to do so. Unless another driver signals you to pass. For any reason. Until after you pass the sign.

Do not pass. You must not pass any vehicles going in the same direction as you are while you are in this area. Passing signs tell you where it is safe to pass another vehicle and where you cannot. Passing areas are based on how far you can see ahead. Where it is permitted to pass, you may do so only if it is safe.

Road ahead is closed to all traffic. Traffic with special permission only. Do not drive into this road from your direction. You must stop completely and yield.

You will see this sign at road way openings that you should not enter, such as exit ramps where you would be going in the wrong direction, crossovers on divided roadways, and at numerous locations on one-way streets. Remember, the sign is square, it is not circular!
