Question 4742
If variable message signs indicate that passenger cars with a B environmental badge may use an HOV lane, what is the minimum occupancy required for the vehicle?
- Two occupants, including the driver.
- Two occupants, not including the driver.
- One occupant.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: One occupant.
To enter an HOV lane, you usually need the minimum occupancy shown on its signs. Sometimes the traffic authority opens the lane to other vehicles and announces this on variable message signs. If the panel allows passenger cars with a B environmental badge, like the one in the image, you may enter even if you are traveling alone.
