You are driving through a section before an intersection marked with a lane change restriction line (solid white line). When may you change lanes in this section?
Where a safety sign prohibits changing lanes you may not change lanes, and the only exceptions are a few unavoidable situations set by law (Article 14(5) of the Road Traffic Act). Work out whether it is the driver's circumstances or the condition of the road itself that can make an exception.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Where lane changes are prohibited by a safety sign such as a lane change restriction line (solid white line), you must not change lanes, except when there is an obstacle due to road damage or construction (Road Traffic Act Article 14(5); Enforcement Rule Annex 6, No. 506). If you entered the wrong lane, follow that lane's direction and find another route; an empty next lane or being in a hurry is not an exception.
