In Atlanta, the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes either hurt you or help in terms of access. They're all the furthest-left lane, meaning you have to cross multiple lanes to get to them and get out of them, and you are restricted from entering/exiting them in many sections (by a white stripe, not a physical barrier). One infrequent benefit is being able to enter/exit more conveniently if an HOV ramp is positioned in the center of the highway,
but that can lead to dangerous situations.
