DDifficulty 3/5

A bus with MAM exceeding 3,500 kg carries only its driver. May it use a high-occupancy vehicle lane?

Correct answer

Yes, if that section’s regulations permit its use by these buses.

Yes, when the regulations for that section permit these buses to use it. Article 35 allows buses with MAM exceeding 3,500 kg and articulated buses to use a high-occupancy vehicle lane regardless of occupancy, subject to the stated conditions and the list of authorised sections. This is not blanket permission to enter every HOV lane: observe the signs, operating hours and current restrictions.
