What does an HOV lane look like?
HOV lanes on provincial highways are the inside (leftmost) lane and can be identified by signs and diamond symbol pavement markings. The HOV lane is separated from the general traffic lanes by a striped buffer pavement marking. Vehicles carrying at least two people can enter and exit the HOV lane at designated zones. These entry and exit zones are clearly identifiable by closely spaced white broken lines and diamond symbol pavement markings. Overhead signs indicate the designated HOV lane exit zone to be used for specific highway exit ramps. HOV lanes are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
