HOV
NOW OPEN (effective 10/24/2023)
The High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes were added as an additional inside lane in each direction on I-75 between 12 Mile Road and South Boulevard (approximately 14 miles) in Oakland, County. This is the first of its kind in Michigan!
HOV lanes require at least two human occupants inside the vehicle when used on weekdays between 6-9 AM and 3-6 PM. The exception is motorcycles, transit buses and police and emergency vehicles. Outside of those designated weekday hours the lanes are available for all motorists regardless of the number of occupants.
State and local police will monitor safe movement in and out of the HOV lane and to ensure drivers have the correct number of people. Civil infractions will be handed out to violators.

Nearby MDOT Projects:
- I-75 /M-102 (8 Mile Road) Feasibility Study MDOT is undertaking a feasibility study, also known as an early preliminary engineering (EPE) study, for the I-75/M-102 (8 Mile Road) interchange in the cities of Detroit and Hazel Park. The existing interchange contains aging infrastructure built in 1969. Since it was originally built, traffic patterns and land uses have changed. MDOT is evaluating the interchange to improve the transportation system, connectivity, and aesthetics; reduce long-term maintenance costs; and complement the I-75 modernization project north of 8 Mile Road.
- I-94 Modernization Project (from east of the I-96/I-94 interchange to east of Conner Avenue)
- I-696 Phase I (I-275/I-96/M-5 to Lasher)

Did You Know: Carpool Lots
Did you know MDOT has carpool lots along many of our major roadways? Carpool lots are great for meeting to park your car to rideshare (carpool or vanpool) and to connect to transit & other rideshare options, including the now open high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes between 12 Mile Road and South Boulevard.
I-75 Modernization Project includes carpool lots at I-75 and Adams Road in Troy and at two at 12 Mile Road in Madison Heights to help encourage use of these rideshare options.
Carpooling and ridesharing have many benefits including lowering car emissions, reducing congestion on the roadways, saving money, putting less wear and tear on your personal vehicle, and use of the newly constructed HOV lanes.
HOV Lane Facts:
- HOV Lanes are located on I-75 between 12 Mile Road and South Boulevard
- HOV lanes operate Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
- During those times, HOV lanes are open to motorists with 2 or more occupants, or those riding a motorcycle.
- Outside of those hours, all motorists are welcome to use this additional lane.
Consider your rideshare options and using one of MDOT’s carpool lots for your work commute or trips throughout the area. Find more information on the lots available and benefits on MDOT’s website https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-151-9615_11234---,00.html

Motorists utilizing the HOV lanes should observe posted speed limits
While using the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on I-75 in Oakland County, it is important to stress the importance of motorists observing passing rules and posted speed limits.
During HOV hours (M-F 6a-9a and 3p-6p), the HOV lane should not be utilized for passing. During off-peak hours, the HOV lane can be utilized for passing as it operates as a general-purpose lane.

I-75 Full Flyover, M-102 (8 Mile Road) to South Boulevard – December 2023 (10 min)
In December 2023, crews spent time flying a drone the entire length of the project, nearly 18 miles, to capture the completed work that began construction in 2016 and completed in 2023. A few things you will see in this video:
- The rebuilt freeway lanes between 8 Mile Road and South Boulevard
- The rebuilt pedestrian bridges
- The reconfiguration of the I-75/I-696 interchange ramps using a braid design
- High-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane signs and lane markings
- The new diverging diamond interchanges (DDIs) at 12 Mile, 14 Mile, and Big Beaver roads
- The rebuilt Gardenia Avenue bridge with new movement of motorists to Stephenson Highway
- So much more!
Thank you all for your continued patience on this project.
