Move out of the closed lane as soon as it is safe to do so, because the lane marked with a red cross is closed.

Recognise the steady red cross ('X') displayed above the specific lane.
Overhead light signals provide specific lane-by-lane legal instructions and safety restrictions.

Determine that a steady red cross means the lane is closed to traffic due to an obstruction, incident, or contraflow.
Driving in a lane marked with a red cross is prohibited by law and creates significant danger.
