Ontario installs newly designed HOV lanes and here are the rules

Ontario has installed new HOV lanes with different rules that might be confusing for some drivers seeing them for the first time.

The Ministry of Transportation said the newly installed HOV lanes on Highway 400 in Vaughan were opened this week.

Here's how they work.

Existing HOV traffic lanes in Ontario allow for vehicles to enter or exit by moving across a dashed lane marking located along the HOV lane. 

The driver merges out of the HOV lane and straight back into the regular flow of traffic.
