Question 6983
Is a passenger car with the environmental label shown in the image, classified as ECO, allowed to drive in the HOV lane if its only occupant is the driver?
- Yes, provided that it displays the adhesive label on the windshield.
- No, unless its access is authorized by the variable message signs.
- Yes, even if it does not display the adhesive label on the windshield.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, unless its access is authorized by the variable message signs.
A passenger car with an ECO environmental badge and only the driver is not allowed to enter the HOV lane just because it displays the badge. The variable message signs at the entrance must authorize access. When they do, the badge must be affixed and visible; without authorization on the sign, displaying it is not enough.
