Explanation
Drivers may legally use a carpool or High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane if their vehicle carries the minimum number of occupants required. Road signs posted along the highway will indicate the required number of passengers (for example, “2 person car pools only”) as well as the specific days and hours when the HOV restrictions are in effect. Always read these signs carefully, as requirements may vary by location and time of day.
