Correct answer
require following the direction or directions indicated, but if the signage allows it, permit a lane change.
Lane-selection arrows, which are positioned within the lanes and marked off by longitudinal lines, require drivers to follow the direction or directions they indicate. These arrows may point straight ahead, to the left, to the right, or a combination of these directions, and drivers must follow the route marked by the arrow in the lane they are in. However, if the road signage allows it, these arrows also permit drivers to change to another lane. This means that if you are in a lane with an arrow indicating a direction you do not wish to follow, you can move to another lane heading towards your destination, provided that the signage and traffic conditions allow it to be done safely.
