What is the general restriction for HOV lanes?

• A. Vehicles with two or more occupants
• B. All vehicles
• C. Motorcycles only
• D. Emergency vehicles only

Answer: (A)

High-occupancy vehicle lanes are reserved to reward carpooling and reduce congestion. The general rule is that a vehicle must have two or more people inside to use the lane during the posted times. This keeps traffic moving for those who ride together. Single-occupant cars normally can’t use the HOV lane unless a specific exemption applies in that area (such as certain motorcycles or permitted vehicles).
