Are motorcycles allowed to drive in the HOV lane?

Answer 1

YES Motorcycles are permitted by federal law to use HOV lanes, even with only one passenger.The rationale behind allowing motorcycles to use HOV lanes is that it is safer to keep two-wheeled vehicles moving than to have them traveling in start-and-stop traffic conditions.

Answer 2

Depends on your city! Motorcycle laws are very idiosyncratic, as are HOV use rules.
In Washington, D.C., yes, bikes (even one-up) can use the HOV. Big signs proclaim this.
In Atlanta, yes.
Check your city's use rules ... the highway patrol can and will tell you for the price of a phone call.

Answer 3

In Virginia motorcycles with only the rider can use HOV lanes.
