Carpool lane
01
a traffic lane reserved for vehicles with a minimum number of passengers, typically to encourage carpooling and reduce congestion
Example
During rush hour, the carpool lane moves much faster than the regular lanes because it's reserved for vehicles with at least two passengers.
To promote environmental sustainability, many cities are expanding their carpool lane networks to encourage more people to carpool.
Electric vehicles and motorcycles are sometimes allowed to use the carpool lane even without additional passengers.
If you get caught driving solo in the carpool lane, you'll face a hefty fine for violating the carpool regulations.
We decided to share a ride to work so we could use the carpool lane and avoid the heavy traffic on the highway.
