they're lanes designated for vehicle with more than one or two (depending on how it's set up) passengers to encourage people to car pool, or take buses. the idea being that the lanes will generally have less traffic in them and move faster. the overall goal is to take as many cars as possible off the road.
IMO, it's for the most part infective as the HOV lanes only go so far and eventually have to merge into the regular traffic lanes. where this happens traffic typically backs up for a mile or two.
