What does a yellow X lane signal mean?

You may use the lane below it.
The lane signal is about to turn red.
You may proceed on the lane below cautiously.
The lane signal is about to change to a green arrow.
Explanation

When a lane-use control signal shows a yellow X, it means it is about to turn red. Drivers should prepare to safely vacate the lane over which the signal is located because a lane control change is being made. Lane signals are used to direct the flow of traffic and to inform drivers if they may proceed on the lane they are traveling on. Never drive in the lane under a red X. You may only proceed if the traffic signal above the lane shows a downward green arrow.
