Lane use: straight only

What it means

Traffic in this lane must continue straight through the intersection. Follow the arrow: you may not turn from a lane marked for straight-through travel.

White with black or red; a red circle with a slash means prohibited, a green circle means permitted.

Summarised from ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart. Read the original: Signs signals and road markings ↗

How to recognise it

A black square with a white arrow pointing straight up, over or beside a lane.

Where you will see it

Above or beside a lane before an intersection, usually where the lanes on either side are for turning.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.If you are in this lane, continue straight through the intersection; do not turn.
  2. 2.If you need to turn, move to the correct lane well before the intersection.

On the knowledge test

A black lane-use sign applies to the lane it marks; a question may try to make you apply it to the whole intersection.
