# Explanation
Vehicles with an ECO environmental label **do not have automatic access to the HOV lane** (High Occupancy Vehicle lane) when driving with only the driver. Although these eco-friendly vehicles have certain advantages, the HOV lane requires a minimum number of occupants. The only exception is when **the variable message panels expressly authorize their circulation**, which can occur in special traffic situations.
