The lane-control traffic light for each lane applies to...

Correct answer

vehicles travelling in the lane where the traffic light is located.

The lane-control traffic light positioned over each lane of a road requires vehicles travelling in that specific lane to follow the indications given by the light. These are its indications: Green Light in the Shape of a Downward Arrow: Indicates that vehicles in that lane are permitted to travel. However, this does not exempt drivers from the obligation to stop at a red circular light or to comply with other signs or road markings that require stopping or giving way. White or Amber Light in the Shape of an Arrow: Indicates that vehicles must begin to move safely into another lane, as the lane they are currently in will soon close. Red Light in the Shape of a Cross: Means that it is forbidden to occupy that lane and drivers must leave it as soon as possible. In summary, the lane-control traffic light for each lane specifically dictates to the vehicles in that lane what they must do, whether that is to continue travelling, prepare to change lanes, or leave the lane.
