Experience in California
For drivers in California, traveling in bumper-to-bumper traffic is nothing out of the ordinary. No matter which freeway or highway you frequent, if you’re planning on reaching your destination within a reasonable time, you need to prepare accordingly.
One solution that California offers to alleviate the congestion of cars on the road is the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane, more commonly known as the “carpool” lane.
The carpool lane is a driving lane in which only vehicles carrying two or more occupants may enter. The carpool lane is generally located in the far left lane of most California freeways. A white diamond symbol is painted on the road to signify an HOV lane. California Vehicle Code Section 21655.5 states that the HOV lane was created to “stimulate and encourage the development of ways and means of relieving traffic congestion on California highways and, at the same time, to encourage individual citizens to pool their vehicular resources and thereby conserve fuel and lessen emission of air pollutants." 1
