Are the HOV restrictions in effect at all times, or only for part of the day?  
The HOV restrictions on inbound highways in Nashville, TN are only in effect 
for certain morning hours on weekdays (inbound rush hour), and those on 
outbound highways are only in effect for certain late-afternoon hours on 
weekdays (evening rush hour).  The rest of the time, the HOV lanes are treated 
as normal lanes.  If the HOV lane restrictions are not 24/7, I would class 
those as lane separators, not medians.   Also, if a vehicle with enough 
passengers is allowed to move into/out of the HOV lanes at any point, I would 
not classify the markings as a median, but only as a lane separator.
