It doesn't work that well around here, cause there's inevitably that one car that refuses to go faster than the rest of the traffic that it's separated from. Or slows down to 10mph when the rest of the highway is stop and go, despite there being a barrier. Then someone gets rear ended because no one was expecting the lane to be going 10mph (and were on their phone), and the accident closes down the lane entirely

Basically, by me, the HOV lane is slower than traffic 90% of the time. Even in stop and go, because that lane is actually the one containing the accident causing the traffic.

Well, uhh, sounds like you could use some more traffic enforcement there. Maybe with AI and cameras ;)
