What is an "express lane"?

An express lane is a part of a highway or road that is designed for faster-moving traffic. It is often reserved for vehicles with multiple passengers or those willing to pay a toll for quicker access. The purpose of the express lane is to reduce congestion on the main lanes by allowing certain vehicles to bypass slower traffic. These lanes may also be used for specific types of vehicles, like buses or high-occupancy vehicles, to help improve traffic flow.
