What obligation does a lit red cross-shaped light impose when driving in the lane below it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A red cross-shaped light on a lane traffic signal explicitly prohibits occupying that lane. The rule states that drivers traveling in a lane above which this light is lit must leave it as soon as possible and safely, merging into a lane where signaling permits (usually indicated by a green arrow or absence of a red cross). It is not simply a matter of reducing speed or exercising caution, but a prohibition of transit in that specific lane because it may be open to oncoming traffic or closed due to incidents.
