It wouldnt matter because alot of dumb drivers think they own the road and take up lanes and drive slow as fuck while being totally oblivious to whats going on around them

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

well now we will see dumbass drivers hogging up the HOV lane after 7pm


as soon as they merge, QUICK! lets get into the furthest left lane so i can be a turd

It should actually read: KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS

no one thinks they drive slow

[Phat_R]

I can't believe the Trans Canada #1 is only two lanes wide in Vancouver. Should be like five

I've seen a few of those signs on the hwy when heading up to the okanagan, but none near the lower mainland.

They're there, in the GVRD, just fairly old and small.....and never enforced - that's the real issue.

it's about time! the problem though, as already mentioned, is it's just anotherlane for elderly people to clog up. I don't drive it as often as most of you, but I notice that the middle lane is faster than the carpool lane from 7-10pm.
A lot of people didn't care that they belonged in the slow lane, because they have a passenger they have their own special lane!!!!!!

bah

I like to call the cops on fucktard cheaters like you. The lines are solid for a reason.

Signs like that won't help... People just don't seem to understand.

If anything... "keep right except to pass" like the US has. It's the law, they ticket people going slow in the fast lanes.


Now... are the solid lines still being enforced? Because if you enter or exit that lane across a solid line.. you're just as likely to get nailed.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Solid lines - probably not. I highly doubt people get tickets for going in and out of the HOV over solid lines.

Fuck, in SD, Ca. they have 4 rows of reflectors the whoooole way down the interstate for the HOV and it's a huge fine to cross over.

I see that all the time too, it pisses me off. People think just cause they have 2 or more people in the car that they have to be in the hov lane. So they go driving along below or right at the speed limit messing up the flow of traffic. Maybe every 5 years when people go to renew their license there should be a written test of common sense driving questions.

I havent seen anyone get nailed for going over a solid line on the highway. My buddy got ticketed for that in Cali though

[boibuddha]

I wouldn't think the solid line would be enforced. I've seen sections where the line doesn't break even though there is an exit nearby. Police can't expect people to take the next exit because the line was solid.
