High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
Depending on the location, HOV lanes (also known as "car pool lanes") require two or three occupants. Watch for the signs. If you have a special sticker, your hybrid or alternative-fuel vehicle may be used alone in an HOV lane.
A dead body being transported as cargo does not count as an occupant. HOV lanes requires two or more occupants (presumably, living occupants) in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
The number of people required for High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes typically ranges from two to three occupants per vehicle, depending on local regulations. Some areas may have specific requirements, such as a minimum of two occupants for HOV-2 lanes or three for HOV-3 lanes. It's essential to check local traffic laws for precise requirements, as they can vary by region.
A HOV sign stands for High Occupancy Vehicle and designates lanes reserved for vehicles with a certain number of occupants, usually two or more. These lanes are intended to promote carpooling and reduce traffic congestion.
Vehicles with two or more occupants
In general, High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are designated for vehicles with multiple occupants, typically two or more, to encourage carpooling and reduce traffic congestion. However, some areas may allow single occupants in HOV lanes if they meet specific criteria, such as driving a qualifying hybrid or electric vehicle. It's important to check local regulations, as HOV lane rules can vary by state or region. Always look for posted signs indicating the rules for HOV lanes in your area.

These lanes are typically reserved for vehicles with a certain number of occupants or for public transportation. The diamond symbol helps drivers quickly identify these lanes and understand their intended use, ensuring smoother traffic flow and promoting carpooling or efficient public transit.
