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.

It's the lane that is on the far left in downtown Dallas, and those yahoos in the HOV lane wait til the last minute to move over to the right when the HOV lane closes. :P

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:
