Using car pool lanes
You can include carpool lanes (HOV or car
sharing lanes) in the route calculation.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please
observe the applicable laws as well as the
local and time limitation conditions.
Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. They can normally be used when
there are two people in the vehicle. However,
there are also carpool lanes which can only
be used when there are three or more people
in the vehicle. In California, lone drivers can
use a carpool lane if their vehicle's emission
level or fuel consumption is below a fixed
threshold.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are indicated by a diamond
symbol on specific road signs and on the road
surface. The road signs may also include the
designation CARPOOL. The lanes are
arranged as a separate lane next to the others
or are built as a physically separate lane.
Depending on the setting under
pool Lanes pool Lanes, COMAND uses carpool lanes
when calculating the route. During route guid-
ance, visual and audible driving directions
