Not true.

The diamond in a lane in Florida indicates that the lane is a special lane in one way or another, to be used by a limited number of vehicles. An example is a ride sharing lane, where vehicles with only a driver are not permitted. In TV the diamond designates a lane to be shared by golf carts, bicycles, skaters, pedestrians, etc., but not automobiles.

There are other types of diamond lanes also. And all have the diamonds on the lanes to designate them as such to the users of the lanes. Roadside signs or additional lane markings provide specifics regarding restrictions to the diamond lane usage.
