		HOV lanes are designed to be free of congestion and sometimes appear to be "empty," especially when compared with adjacent, congested, general-purpose lanes.
		HOV lanes are an essential tool for managing congestion along heavily-traveled corridors and benefit both the highway and transit systems by contributing to improving the overall quality of life.
		HOV traffic is generally able to enter and exit the HOV lane from the adjacent general-purpose lanes at strategically located and clearly-marked intervals.

	Federal-aid Highway Program Guidance on High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes
		HOV lanes in Texas have a benefit to cost ratio ranging from 6:1 to 48:1, and in each case, demonstrating a cost-effectiveness that is greater than if two additional general purpose lanes had been added.
		HOV lanes may be operated on a 24-hour basis, for extended periods of the day, during peak travel periods only, during special events, or other activities.
		However, where the conversion of an HOV lane to a general purpose lane is determined to be the appropriate operational change, then explicit consideration is to be given to the incorporation of appropriate travel management and traffic operational strategies to accommodate future travel demand and maintain the functional integrity of the facility.

	HOV System
		Physically located in the center of most major freeways, HOV lanes typically are barrier-separated roadways that allow buses, vanpools and carpools to move higher volumes of passengers to and from Downtown and locations in between.
		HOV lanes maintain an operating speed of roughly 50-55 miles per hour, hence saving the average commuter 12 to 22 minutes per trip.
		Drivers are asked to report HOV lane violations such as insufficient occupancy, speeding or improper passing by calling the HERO Hotline at 713-921-HERO (4376).

	High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes
		HOV lanes are primarily used as a congestion management tool, providing carpoolers and transit users with a reliable trip time at all hours of the day and allowing them to avoid periodic congestion.
		While HOV lanes save the greatest amount of time for users during peak periods, the first new HOV lanes have been added to highway corridors that typically experience heavy congestion throughout the day - it is therefore most efficient to keep the HOV lanes available for carpool and transit use all the time.
		HOV lanes are popular with commuters in states such as Texas and California, and in cities such as Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Denver, and Seattle.

	NCDOT: High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV), HOV Planning Guidelines
		For a lane to be designated for HOV use, the number of persons projected to use the lane should exceed the average number of persons carried in an adjacent mixed flow lane in the same direction.
		Where an HOV lane is practically empty and the adjoining lanes are full, adherence to the HOV rules is low, and occupancy violations tend to be high, necessitating the need for a greater enforcement commitment.
		HOV lanes can also be considered as elements of a system wide network of mobility improvements that include HOV lanes on a network of freeways.

	Online TDM Encyclopedia - HOV Priority
		HOV lanes often take years to reach their full potential, since they affect long-term decisions such as where consumers live or choose to work.
		HOV facilities benefit transit and rideshare passengers, which includes a proportionally large share of lower income and transportation disadvantaged people, and is therefore progressive with respect to income and need.
		HOV facilities are most appropriate on congested highways where it is technically feasible to convert or add lanes, where HOV use could increase, and which would result in significant time savings to users.

		The effect of HOV operation is a loss of 47% of potential lane capacity to underutilization, and a gain of 7% from benefit carpooling for a net loss of 40% of a lane.
		HOV lane motivated carpooling is essential, but difficult if not impossible to measure directly for reasons discussed.
		HOV ("Carpool" or "Diamond") lanes are widely adopted as a means of improving congestion and air quality but there has been no proof that they do so.

		I-270 has one HOV lane in each direction from the the Beltway (I-495) through Montgomery County, MD. The southbound HOV lane extends from I-370 to I-495 (Capital Beltway).

		At first the HOV lanes were designed for buses and licensed carpools only (which is why onramps to the older lanes can be so hard to find) but soon they were opened up to any car with 2 or more people (3 or more on the Katy).
		Typical HOV lanes are simply the left-hand lane of the freeway, marked off with white lines and designated with signage.
		And the HOV entrances and exits are separated, too, in the form of flyers connecting to transit centers and dedicated Downtown on- and off-ramps.

	The HOV Hoax Revealed Again
		In a move that should hasten the demise of HOV lanes nationwide, New Jersey Governor Whitman made the front pages in late October by lifting all restrictions on two major HOV lanes in her state.
		Better yet, existing HOV lanes, like the ones targeted by Whitman on I-80 and I-287 in New Jersey, should be converted to toll lanes whose price changes to reflect increased demand during rush hour.
		Ironically, the silver lining of Whitman's obliteration of the HOV lanes is that it reveals them to be little more than an “environmental” excuse to widen highways — something that is sure to be brought up by transportation reformers fighting the expansion of the Long Island Expressway and other area highways.

		Furthermore, violation rates are lower during the majority of the HOV period because many of the violations happen during the first and last half-hour of the restricted period.
		Judged by the performance levels maintained by these HOV lanes, compliance is generally strong and is helped by the level of fines, which range from $50 for the first violation to $500 by the fourth violation, not including court costs.
