Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes are reserved for motorcycles, passenger cars and adaptable dual-purpose vehicles that meet the occupancy conditions established for each section. Buses with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) of more than 3,500 kg and articulated buses may also use them, regardless of their number of occupants, under the authorized conditions and on the authorized sections. Trucks and combined vehicles, such as the truck with a light trailer in this question, are excluded from their ordinary use. Reaching a certain number of occupants in the cab does not authorize entry. In unusual circumstances, the competent authority may allow, recommend or order other vehicles to use the lane for reasons of safety or traffic flow (Article 35(2) of the General Traffic Regulations).
