what is a t3 lane

A T3 lane is a type of high-occupancy vehicle lane (HOV) that is reserved for the exclusive use of vehicles with a driver and at least two passengers. These lanes are also known as transit lanes or carpool lanes. The letter "T" in T3 stands for transit, and the number "3" refers to the minimum number of occupants required to use the lane. T3 lanes are usually in effect during certain times of the day and are marked with signs and paint on the road. The purpose of T3 lanes is to reduce traffic congestion by encouraging carpooling and the use of public transportation. Vehicles that are allowed to use T3 lanes include cars, buses, taxis, motorcycles, and mopeds. If a driver enters a T3 lane without the required number of passengers, they may be fined if caught.
