Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. They can normally be used when
there are two people in the vehicle. However,
there are also carpool lanes which can only
be used when there are three or more people
in the vehicle. In California, lone drivers can
use a carpool lane if their vehicle's emission
level or fuel consumption is below a fixed
threshold.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are identified by HOV symbols
on special road signs and by markings on the
road. The road signs may also include the
designation CARPOOL CARPOOL . The lanes are arranged
as a separate lane next to the others or are
built as a physically separate lane.
