The study looked at the safety and public opinion of High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. Analysis of accident data showed that HOV lanes are not more dangerous than regular lanes. A survey found that both users and non-users support HOV lanes, but more outreach is needed to explain their benefits. The study suggests stricter enforcement, better on-ramps and off-ramps, and clearer signs to make people more aware of HOV lanes.
