Which statement describes the HOV lane ahead?

• A. All vehicles allowed
• B. Buses only
• C. HOV lane ahead allows vehicles with multiple occupants
• D. Pedestrians only

Answer: (C)

High Occupancy Vehicle lanes are reserved for vehicles that have more than one occupant, to encourage car sharing and reduce congestion. When you see a sign for an HOV lane ahead, it means the lane ahead is designated for high-occupancy vehicles. You may use it only if your vehicle meets the occupancy requirement (typically two or more people) or if you have an approved exemption. Buses are often permitted in HOV lanes as part of the intent to support public transport, but the core idea described by this sign is that the lane is for vehicles with multiple occupants. It isn’t open to all vehicles, nor is it for pedestrians, and it isn’t restricted to buses only.
