While driving in lane 2 (the right lane) of a road with two lanes in each direction, you see this sign. What is the most appropriate action?
A lane-ending sign means the lane on the side where the line bends inward comes to an end (Enforcement Rule, Appendix 6). Check which line bends in the picture, and remember that when you change lanes you must not obstruct vehicles in the next lane (Article 19(3) of the Road Traffic Act).
Answer: ②
Explanation
A picture where the right line bends inward is a caution sign warning that the right lane ends on a road with two or more lanes in each direction (Enforcement Rule, Appendix 6, No. 119). It is placed 50-200 meters before the lane ends, so if you are in the right lane, signal early and move safely into the left lane. It is the right lane, not the left, that ends, and speeding up to get ahead of merging vehicles is dangerous.
