Do you know what I find more infuriating? HOV lanes themselves.
What a stupid idea.
The 405 freeway at the Sepulvada pass was being worked on for many many many years costing a billion plus.
All they essentially did was add a car pool lane..... Traffic backs up all the time. the car pool lane is nearly empty compared to the rest of the lanes.
Never did fix the rough road a few miles away near Sunset blvd. Drove that route for years and it feels like a washboard.
This is the scenic route.....
