Highway HOV Lane Opens
The opened the so-called ‘High Occupancy Vehicle’ lane, which in reality is 2 or more people per car. I normally take the 403 home, so I thought I’d keep track of how many cars used it.
Time: 16:00 - 16:20 EST
Total Cars: 66
Taxis: 4
Accidents due to merging to/from HOV Lane: 1
Cars with only 1 person: 4
Cars with only 1 person stopped by police: 2
There were 3 police cars setup to stop violators, as it’s a fine ($30-500) plus 3 demit points. Of course, this just slowed down all the traffic as people rubber necked.
No conclusions yet - just making some data points public.
