Signals and variable signs above each lane of the motorway

Overhead Accident Red Cross

Red flashing light signals and a red ‘X’ on a sign identify a closed lane. You must follow the instructions on signs in advance of a closed lane to move safely to an open lane. You must not drive in a closed lane. A sign will inform you when the lane is no longer closed by displaying a speed limit or the word ‘END’.
