B. Steady YELLOW X in both directions;
C. DOWNWARD GREEN ARROW in one direction and steady YELLOW X in the other direction;

01B A moving condition in one direction shall be terminated either by the immediate display of a RED X signal indication or by a steady YELLOW X signal indication followed by a RED X signal indication. In either case, the duration of the RED X signal indication shall be sufficient to allow clearance of the lane before any moving condition is allowed in the opposing direction.
