express lanes
Express lanes are specialized traffic lanes designed to help reduce congestion and improve travel times on busy roads. They typically allow vehicles with a set number of passengers, or those paying a toll, to bypass slower, general-purpose lanes. By segregating these vehicles, express lanes enable faster, more reliable travel for commuters willing to pay or meet certain requirements. They are commonly used on highways and managed with electronic toll systems, providing a streamlined experience for those seeking quicker journeys and helping manage overall traffic flow efficiently.
