What does a red "X" signal above a lane indicate?

  1. Proceed with caution.

  2. Merge into the lane indicated.

  3. Lane change not permitted.

  4. Yield the right-of-way to other vehicles.

The correct answer is: Lane change not permitted.

A red "X" above a lane typically indicates that it is closed or not in use. This means that you should not try to merge into that lane or proceed through it. Options A, B, and D involve some form of movement through the lane, which would not be permitted if it is marked with a red "X." Therefore, these options are incorrect.
