Differentiate between HOV(High Occupancy Vehicle) and an HOT (High Occupancy Toll) lanes.
In metropolitan Atlanta, the Georgia D.O.T. has been transforming HOV lanes to HOT Toll lanes, which will cause you to face a traffic ticket in the mail for $150, if you do not have a valid Georgia Peach (Toll paying) Pass, or a similar pass from select other states. The State of Georgia has plans to expand the program in other metropolitan regions as well as other freeways in the Atlanta region. The ability to alert drivers that the HOV Lane ends and a TOLL Lane is replacing it ahead is an important piece of information.

Additionally, it is also a hefty fine if a single occupant p (except properly license plated alternative fuel (other than gas or diesel), or battery powered) vehicle fails to leave the HOT to HOV lane in the transition area and continue to drive n the HOV lane.
