Lege Trend: NO HOV Lanes to ease congestion

No HOV lanes to help ease congestion? How is this possible?

California Legislature passed AB 210 that would prohibit HOV times at non-rush hour times. For those who don’t like double negatives, that means HOV lanes are only permissible during rush hour.

What statutory language did California use?

a high-occupancy vehicle lane shall not
be established....

 unless
the lane is established as a high-occupancy vehicle lane only during
the hours of heavy commuter traffic, as determined by the department.

When will this go into effect? Never. Gov. Brown vetoed the bill.
