A high-occupancy vehicle lane (HOV lane) is a special lane on a road or highway designated for vehicles with a certain number of passengers, typically two or more. The purpose of an HOV lane is to encourage carpooling and reduce traffic congestion. These lanes are often marked with signs and are usually found on busy highways or roads where traffic flow is heavy. Vehicles that do not meet the passenger requirement are generally not allowed to use the HOV lane, except under certain conditions, such as during off-peak hours or if the vehicle has a special permit.
