You'd think it was...and it was well nigh impossible to get a ride today too. I thought with the surplus of slugs there was no way traffic would be bad...

I forgot to mention how much better it was on Wednesday [/sarcasm] Not a single accident or incident to look at either.

Two lanes were blocked because of an early accident in the regular lanes.
Traffic was pretty decent by 7:40am.

Not SOVs! Unless, you want to blame the regular lane accident on SOVs. Oops - I guess it was SOVs - just not SOVs in the HOV lanes!

Well, those Hybrids sure didn't help the situation. It felt to me like I was in a procession of nothing but Hybrids...as far as the eye could see. Can't wait for July 2006!!!![:I]

No, why would I say that? Wasn't the accident in the regular lanes?? All the Hybrids are in the what we used to call express lanes, but from this point forward I shall call them the exemption lanes.

Let's get our terminology adjusted a bit. Let's address the OCCUPANCY status instead of the vehicle's technology. The challenge is those who travel with less than the requisite 3 in HOV-3 lanes. It doesn't matter how the car is built.

For anyone who doesn't think that additional vehicles on the road contribute to congestion, I'm wondering what their definition of congestion is?
