This is not true in northern California on 280, 101, 880, or any of the other major roads. > All traffic is prohibited from making lane changes in areas > where the white-orange-orange lines are present, with the general > access lanes functionally being the right shoulder for HOV traffic, > and the HOV area treated as the left shoulder for general access > traffic. Every 1-3 miles where lane changes are permitted, lane > changes in and out of the HOV area is permitted for traffic allowed in > that lane, no other locations. This is also not true in Northern California. You can enter and exit the lanes at any point. > These restrictions are strictly > enforced, as the difference in speed between the HOV lane and general > access is frequently in excess of 60 MPH during peak traffic periods > in sections where the HOV lane is isolated. Even enforcement in Northern California is sporadic. -David
