express lanes
Quicker checkout lines
Express lanes are highway lanes designed for faster travel, typically requiring a toll, carpool occupancy, or both.
They run parallel to regular lanes but with restricted access points, allowing traffic to flow more freely: We took the express lanes to avoid rush-hour gridlock.
In stores, express lanes are checkout lines reserved for customers with few items.
