What does the High-Occupancy Vehicle Lane mean?
1 Answers
High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lane refers to a dedicated lane exclusively for vehicles with multiple occupants. Vehicles entering this lane must have at least 2 or more occupants (including the driver), and single-occupant vehicles are prohibited from using it. Originating from Europe and America, HOV lanes play a positive role in optimizing travel structures and road resource allocation, reducing the occupation of road resources by empty vehicles, and promoting carpooling and green transportation. Carpooling reflects the encouragement of the sharing economy and provides a new solution for improving the coordinated use efficiency of people, vehicles, and roads, promoting dynamic balance in transportation supply and demand, and optimizing travel modes.
