The High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes would provide a great opportunity for enhancing the transportation sector through potential reduction of roadway congestions, reducing the overall sector costs, and mitigating the carbon footprint. Based on the literature review, HOT lanes system is expected to provide a great opportunity to enhance the transportation sector through potential reduction of roadway congestions, reducing the overall sector costs, and mitigating the carbon footprint resulting from this sector. In this study, a micro-simulation was conducted using VISSIM software on a selected segment of a major freeway. The results indicated that the HOT lanes could reduce the delay time and overall travel time by around 19.02 and 23.44%, respectively, while the average travel speed could increase by up to 24.98%. Additionally, it was found that HOT lanes can significantly reduce the fuel consumption by around 12.7% and that resulted in air emissions reduction by 19.9 and 15.9% for the CO and the NOx, respectively.
