On the A1 near Apeldoorn a white arrow pointing diagonally to the left appears on the matrix sign above your lane. This announces that your lane will be closed further ahead with a red cross.

Explanation

False — you think that only a yellow arrow announces a red cross. In lane signalling the white arrow is the pre-warning: your lane closes further ahead, so you move to another lane in good time.
