Question 6976

Is a passenger car carrying four people allowed to use the HOV lane if it is towing a light trailer?

  1. Yes.
  2. Only if the lane is not occupied.
  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

A passenger car towing a trailer must not enter the HOV lane, even if the trailer is light and four people are traveling in the car. The lane allows passenger cars, motorcycles, and adaptable dual-purpose vehicles, but a vehicle towing a trailer is excluded, whether the lane is empty or not. In the image, the passenger car towing a trailer is traveling in the regular lanes, outside the HOV lane.
