What does a yellow arrow indicate regarding the lane?

Lane is open for traffic
Lane is closing
Proceed with caution
Lane is designated for turning only

The correct answer is: Lane is closing

A yellow arrow serves as a warning to drivers about the status of the lane ahead. Specifically, it usually indicates that the lane is about to close or that it is becoming unavailable for through traffic. This alert gives drivers a chance to react appropriately, either by preparing to merge or move to a different lane. The other options do not accurately reflect the meaning of the yellow arrow. For example, an open lane for traffic would be denoted by a green light or arrow, rather than yellow. Proceeding with caution generally refers to other light signals or signs indicating the need for vigilance, while a lane designated for turning only would typically be indicated by specific signage or lane markings rather than a yellow arrow.
