From Wikipedia


In transportation engineering and transportation planning, a high-occupancy vehicle lane (or HOV lane) is a lane reserved for vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers. These lanes are also known as carpool lanes, commuter lanes, diamond lanes and transit lanes.

HOV lanes are the seldom-used 2+ passenger car-only lanes that would do more good as a full lane, or (I know this is crazy talk) as a TRUCK-ONLY DEDICATED LANE.

I'm with you Phuz.

I'd support Trucker Only lanes on all the major shipping corridors.

I always wanted to carry a blow up doll in my trunk so I could use HOV lanes when I was by myself...

But then I saw a news article about a guy busted for doing just that.

Usually there is some doofus doing 50-55mph in the HOV lane on I-30 from downtown to 80 and the regular lanes are moving faster. :lol: They are a good alternative after 4:30pm though.

Going east on I-30 through the "Canyon" in downtown Dallas about 8:30 in the morning is a lovely drive. :shock: :P :lol:
