This sign indicates lanes for cars with two or three passengers, depending on the rules of each specific country. These road sections are designated for vehicles with a higher number of passengers and are prohibited for solo drivers.

Buses, motorcycles, and ambulances have free access to these lanes. Also, eco-friendly vehicles with minimal emissions can travel on them regardless of the number of passengers in the cabin.

European countries mark such road sections differently. Some of them use white diamond-shaped symbols instead of blue signs on the asphalt. Additionally, time restrictions may vary - from round-the-clock to only active during peak hours.

Unfortunately, Ukrainian motorists lack sufficient information about European traffic rules due to the absence of similar signs in the country's road system. Knowing local traffic peculiarities becomes very important for safe and lawful travels in Europe.
