The Nevada Department of Transportation will start an 18-month pilot program this month where even a lone driver can travel in carpool lanes or HOV lanes between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The agency decided to try these new hours out after studies showed traffic on Interstate 15 came down every day between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.
There are over 20 continuous carpool lanes in the metro Las Vegas area, according to officials.
The new carpool lane hours begin Oct. 24.
