priority lane

Expedited traffic channel

A priority lane is a designated travel lane reserved for specific vehicles or users, typically to improve traffic flow or encourage particular transportation choices.

On highways, priority lanes may be restricted to carpools, buses, or electric vehicles: The HOV lane is a priority lane for vehicles with two or more occupants.

In stores or airports, priority lanes offer faster service to certain customers: frequent flyers boarding through the priority lane.
