Question: Diamond-shaped white signs with a black diamond symbol mean what?

Answer options: ✅ HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lane

  • Bicycle lane
  • Truck lane
  • Emergency lane

Correct answer: HOV (high-occupancy vehicle) lane

Explanation: A white sign featuring a black diamond symbol designates a reserved lane, primarily used for high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) under the Québec Highway Safety Code. This symbol restricts the lane to carpools, buses, or taxis during specific hours to optimize traffic flow. Bicycle lanes, truck lanes, and emergency lanes are indicated by distinct pictograms or text signs rather than the standard diamond symbol. Recognizing reserved lane markers is highly relevant for the SAAQ theory exam, as drivers must identify restricted road spaces to promote safety, maintain traffic efficiency, and avoid significant fines on Québec roads.
