Explanation:

Question 16

HOV is a common traffic term. "High Occupancy Vehicle" (d) refers to vehicles with a certain number of passengers (e.g., carpool, vanpool), used for HOV lanes. Other options (a: vacancy is incorrect; b: operating volume doesn't fit; c: octane relates to fuel, not vehicle occupancy) are wrong.

On expressways, opposing traffic lanes are separated by a median (c), which is a physical or painted barrier. A solid yellow line (a) is for same - direction lane separation in some cases, solid white (b) for lane boundaries, and broken white (d) for lane changes in same direction. So median is correct.

In merging scenarios, drivers focus on the "gap" (or "space") in the target lane. This allows them to adjust if the gap becomes unavailable. The key concept is the open space between vehicles in the lane to merge into.

Answer:

d) High Occupancy Vehicle
