3. At a railroad crossing, a small plate mounted below the X-shaped crossbuck tells you:

4. A 'Lane Ends' sign shows the right lane merging into the left. Which drivers have to yield?
Correct answer: Drivers in the ending right lane
The lane that disappears gives way, so right-lane traffic yields and blends into the left-lane flow.
