A transit lane can only be used by passenger service vehicles, motor cycles, mopeds, cycles, and motor vehicles carrying a specified minimum number of persons. Transit lanes in New Zealand are generally either T2 or T3 lanes, these being for vehicles with 2 or more people (T2) or 3 or more people (T3), where ‘T’ stands for transit. The lanes operate between certain times of the day. Most transit lanes are located on arterial roads, motorways or expressways.
