Is the shared/HOV lane symbol important for the theory test and the practical driving test?
Yes, the shared/HOV lane symbol is important for both the theory test and the practical driving test. On the theory test you may be tested on the rules for using a shared/HOV lane, including what the symbol means. During the practical driving test you must understand and follow the rules in order to use the lane correctly. Knowing the symbol and the rules helps demonstrate that you have a good understanding of traffic and that you follow signs and road markings.
What is the shared/HOV lane symbol?
The shared/HOV lane symbol is a white marking on the asphalt at the start of and along a shared/HOV lane. The symbol shows the number of people that must be in the vehicle in order to use the lane. For example, if the symbol shows "2+", at least two people must be in the vehicle. The symbol helps drivers understand the rules for using the lane and where they apply. It may also be repeated along the lane as needed.
There should also be a shared/HOV lane sign before this road marking.
