I’ve been sent this.
(I cannot verify whether it is now active or not.)

If in doubt, stay out, or see who else is using the lane before deciding if it's safe to go in it.

The new French road sign that can net you a €135 fine

This French road sign will soon be popping up on roads around the country - but it carries a hefty fine if you fail to respect it.

Looks correct info. Found the above too.

Wow! That is new, but it appears to be real. Another thing to learn!! Thanks for posting. See this France Bleu article dated 14th August 2023. It is for shared driving (covoiturage) - minimum 2 passengers. Also for electric vehicles, taxis, buses etc. They say they’re trying it near Grenoble, Lyon & Stasbourg but soon around Nantes and Rennes. There should be a clear sign pointing at the lane it refers to (and times, if that’s what they want).

Looks like it's a "reserved lane" sign. It will be accompanied with something like this:

Sounds very sensible.

If you have Two people, including the driver, in the vehicle you're good to use the lane.

Just move out of it if the co-pilot gets up to make a brew...

We noticed them while driving through Lyon in May, had no idea what they meant and now wondering if I used that lane

Isn't there a similar scheme near Bradford on the M62

We're in a Peugeot so we'll be OK as well, I'm glad we didn't get a Fiat or Merc

Oooooooh, Matron!!!

Saw these lit up through Lyon yesterday. I wondered what they meant we didn't use that lane, and there were two of us anyway.

Now abandoned.

I think theirs was well before EVs came about maybe if it works well in France they'll try it here again.

Quite a lot of junctions on motorways and RN's have a car park that is set up for car sharing. This one is 0n the N10 near Angouleme.
