Carpool lanes - dumbest idea, ever.
No, they are right behind commuter toll lanes where the price varies according to the time of day. Another California first.
But the dangerous part of Diamond Lanes is when the do move at 45 mph right next to a fast lane that is stopped or nearly so. When that occurs (which is most of the time) you have to worry about Jose the Gardner pulling into the Diamond lane with Miguel riding shotgun (you gotta have two up) in his Sandford & Son’s era pickup loaded down with lawnmowers and bags of leaves. The CHP will tell you that the Diamond Lanes cause a disproportionate share of accidents as a consequence.
we need an initiative to make the car pool lanes open access. The new fast lane.
