Sec. 27.5. (a) The rules adopted under section 26 or 27 of this chapter may include restrictions on the use of one (1) or more lanes on any part of a tollway as necessary, appropriate, or desirable for financing the tollway or to reduce congestion, increase mobility, promote fuel conservation, achieve operating efficiencies, or promote public safety. The restrictions may include limiting use of one (1) or more lanes to private vehicles, high occupancy vehicles, vehicles that participate in an electronic tolling program, trucks, commercial vehicles, special fuel vehicles, transit vehicles, or vehicles that pay a higher toll for exclusive use of a dedicated lane. The rules may require a person eligible to use a restricted lane to obtain the permit specified by the department or an operator, as permitted under a public-private agreement.
(b) The department may require that an electronic device or other identification device specified by the department or by an operator as permitted under a public-private agreement be maintained in a vehicle using a restricted lane on a tollway.
(c) The department may construct barriers or implement other design, construction, or operational features to implement a managed lane, express lane, or other program under this section.
