A high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane is a type of lane on a road or highway where vehicles with multiple passengers can travel for free or at a reduced rate, while single-occupancy vehicles must pay a toll to use the lane. The toll price often changes depending on traffic conditions, allowing for faster travel when traffic is heavy. HOT lanes are designed to reduce congestion by encouraging carpooling and providing an option for drivers who are willing to pay for a quicker route. These lanes are usually marked and are often found in areas with heavy traffic.
