Which vehicles occupied only by the driver are allowed to travel in the high-occupancy lane (Bus VAO)?
Traffic rules
Explanation
To use the **high-occupancy vehicle lane (HOV)**, vehicles must meet certain requirements. A high-occupancy vehicle is one that:
- Only transports people.
- Does not exceed **3,500 kilograms** of load.
- Carries the number of people indicated on the HOV lane signs.
However, there are exceptions to these rules. **Vehicles for people with disabilities** can use the HOV lane even if only the driver is traveling. These vehicles must carry the **V-15 sign**, which indicates they are adapted for people with disabilities. Therefore, vehicles with this sign can use the HOV lane even if only occupied by the driver.
Other vehicles that can use the HOV lane are motorcycles, passenger cars, or adaptable mixed vehicles that meet the requirements of HOV cars, buses weighing more than 3,500 kilograms, and emergency or road work service vehicles.
