Using the Lanes
A map and photo galleries showing specific entry and exit points along the I-45, Hwy. 59 and Hwy. 290 corridors can be found on the HOV/HOT Express Lanes page.
- Trailer towing is prohibited
- No trucks with more than two axles or a gross weight capacity of one ton or greater
- No bicycles – but motorcycles are permitted
- No pedestrians
There’s no minimum speed, but as with any highway driving, you should maintain enough speed to avoid slowing down the flow of traffic. The speed limit in the HOV/HOT lanes is the same as the freeway it runs alongside.
