On a freeway, you see a white diamond painted in the left lane and on the signs above it. A solid white line separates that lane from the other lanes. What does the diamond tell you?
A white elongated diamond is painted in the left freeway lane, with a solid white line separating it from the adjacent lane. This is a pavement detail, without a vehicle selected for entry.
Correct answer: The lane is reserved for high-occupancy vehicles such as carpools and buses
Why
HOV lanes move more people in fewer vehicles, and the diamond symbol on signs and on the pavement identifies them. The signs give the minimum number of people in the vehicle and any hours when the rule applies. Motorcycles may use HOV lanes, but a solo driver in a car may not, even to pass.
