Question 677 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A white square with a thin black border showing a large red X in the centre. Meaning: Lane closed. No driving in this lane.
  1. It is prohibited to pass to the adjacent left or right lane. You must continue in your curremt lane.
  2. Only two-wheelers are permitted to drive in this lane.
  3. 4-way intersection ahead.
  4. Correct answer: Lane closed. No driving in this lane.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Lane closed. No driving in this lane.

A red X above a lane means driving in this lane is prohibited. Anyone in such a lane must move carefully into another lane where driving is permitted. The X does not mark an intersection, does not limit the lane to two-wheelers, and does not require you to stay in the lane; it means the opposite.
