Practice question

If you see a painted arrow pointing right in your lane, it means:

  1. You may proceed straight
  2. You must turn right
  3. You can only turn left
  4. You should slow down

Answer: B — You must turn right

When you see a painted arrow pointing right in your lane, it indicates that you are required to turn right. This visual cue is crucial for traffic management and safety, helping to direct vehicles in the appropriate manner on the road. The arrow clearly communicates to drivers that continuing straight or turning left is not an option in that particular lane. Observing these lane markings ensures that drivers follow designated traffic patterns, helping maintain order on the roads and reducing the potential for accidents.
