If a variable message panel authorizes access to the HOV lane for vehicles with environmental badge B, what is the minimum occupancy required to drive?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that only the driver is required. Generally, the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane requires the vehicle to be occupied by the fixed number of people (usually two, including the driver). However, regulations establish exceptions. Vehicles with the '0 emissions' badge can always enter with a single occupant. For vehicles with 'ECO', 'C', or 'B' badges, accompanying passengers are usually required. Nevertheless, when a variable message panel explicitly indicates that vehicles with a specific badge (in this case B) are allowed, this authorization waives the minimum occupancy requirement, allowing access with just the driver.
