Houston uses a gang of metro cops at the exits. Every morning they had a long line of people pulled over blocking traffic at the exit ramps from the HOV lanes.
I’m out of that mess for the rest of my life. Yippee!
HOV lanes are another example of a Democrat idea that fails. Originally implemented during the gas crisis, it does nothing to save fuel. Where I live, it is mostly unused during rush hour, while the other lanes are backed up. And then like magic, when the lane opens up to other traffic, within five minutes traffic starts flowing again.
