What's a carpool lane? Do we have them in Europe?

It's a highway lane that you're only allowed to drive on if you have multiple people driving in the car. So you could avoid traffic, for example. It's supposed to reduce the number of cars on the road.

There is one in Norway it seems, in Trondheim.

These days it seems like a lot of states are just allowing people to pay a fee to use them, though.

Yes! I saw one while on vacation in France. It was in Lyon, i think? Look up 'France diamond lane'
