Carpool lanes - dumbest idea, ever.
They're great for us motorcyclists. Everyone else should just stay out of them. ;-)

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.

I hate them. Let all the traffic share all the pavement. Simple math proves their inefficiency.
As dumb as those lines in banks or at the local Fry’s Electronics that have you snake around instead of lining up like at a supermarket.
Car pools lanes in the Sepulvada pass on the 405 freeway are stupid (mountain on either side). You need every lane to accommodate the traffic instead of creating a bottleneck.
Yep, who knew taking 25% of the lanes away would make the other lanes just sit there? One lane gets a little better mileage and three lanes get none at all.
Air quality management and politicians, two of the most brain dead examples of the sub-human species.
