Question 3804
When it is occupied only by its driver, may a passenger car travel in an HOV (VAO) lane?
- No, never.
- Yes, as long as it is a non-emergency vehicle on urgent duty.
- Yes, if it carries the V-15 sign or the parking card for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, if it carries the V-15 sign or the parking card for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility.
In the image, the HOV lane panel requires two or more occupants. Even so, a passenger car displaying the V-15 sign or the parking card for people with disabilities and reduced mobility may use it with only the driver aboard. The emergency-duty exception applies to ambulances, fire service vehicles, and other emergency vehicles.
