Correct answer
That occupying the lane over which it is situated is prohibited.
A lane traffic light with a red cross-shaped light indicates that occupying the lane over which it is situated is prohibited. This signalling is specific to traffic lanes and is used to control and direct the flow of vehicles in different lanes of a road. When a driver encounters a lane traffic light displaying a red cross, they must understand that they cannot continue travelling in that lane and must look for a safe way to leave it as soon as possible. This signalling is important for traffic management, especially on roads with multiple lanes or in situations where certain lanes must be temporarily closed for reasons of safety, congestion or roadworks.
