Motorists have become accustomed to it: not all traffic lanes are necessarily open to them. Some are reserved for buses and taxis, others for low-emission vehicles, and still others dedicated to carpooling, that is to say drivers with a certain number of passengers on board (at least two). Marked by a sign with a white diamond on a blue background, we find them on highways, on the outskirts of large cities, perhaps soon on the Paris ring road.

To remedy this, the government wants to automate part of the process of fining drivers who do not respect these restrictions.
