Motorway Driving
Flashing Red X
The flashing Red X is one of, if not the, most important sign that you are likely to see on English motorways. Quentin Willson investigates why the flashing Red X means “lane closed” why drivers should not pass under it and what could happen if they do. In the course of the investigation Quentin gets an insight into why the flashing Red X is used, what warnings are given to drivers in advance and what they should do when they do see one.
