A high Occupancy Vehicle lane is a specially designed lane that is designated for use by certain types of vehicles with specified number of occupants. It can offer travel time savings to those who choose to carpool to take transit.
On ontario highways, HOV lanes are for use by passenger vehicles with two or more occupants (i.e. the driver plus at least one passenger ).
HOV lanes can move a greater number of people than a general traffic lane, and encourage carpooling and transit use, by providing travel time savings and a more reliable trip time. HOV lanes help to manage congestion, and optimise the capacity of highways.
