Can a moped carrying two people normally use a HOV lane?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
A **VAO lane** (High Occupancy Vehicle) is designed for vehicles that transport a specific number of people, as indicated by the lane signs. For a vehicle to be considered high occupancy, it must meet certain requirements, such as transporting only people and not exceeding a weight of 3,500 kilograms.
**Mopeds**, although they can carry an additional passenger, do not meet the requirements to be considered high occupancy vehicles. Furthermore, mopeds are required to travel on the **shoulder** if there is no specific lane for them, and it is not mentioned that they can use the VAO lane.
Therefore, a moped occupied by two people **cannot normally use a VAO lane**.
