I'm aware of that. That's why I added it to the discussion. If it
were the same thing, I wouldn't have bothered to point it out.

Yeah, but we were talking about Priuses, not other vehicles.

Yeah, but we were talking about Priuses, not other vehicles.

We never had double yellow lines; generally just white "diamonds"
painted in the lanes and HOV restriction signs overhead and beside the
lane (except for reversible lanes, which are physically separated from
the regular traffic lanes for obvious reasons). Oh, and cop cars
positioned at stragegic points in the mediam all along the length of
the HOV lanes. Does NOTHING for traffic flow.

At least CA has the option of making the easily accessible--Connecticut
put a DITCH between the HOV lane and the traffic lane, with
strategically placed edge traps.

When you've gotta lower yourself to attacking typos, Tim, you don't
have anything relevant left to say.

Mein Gott!

Apparently the concepts of "improvments", "evolution", or even
"changing your mind" are not at home in Connecticut.
