These cost Cal $2.5B+, a 20% capacity loss, increased pollution, decreased carpooling, and increased injuries (50%+). These monstrosities cost California $2.5B+, a 20% capacity loss, increased pollution, decreased carpooling, and increased injuries 50%+ (frequency and severity). It turns out a high speed lane right next to a parking lot increases accidents and injury on entry/exit, and not allowing drivers to use the entire road only decreases traffic flow from optimum. |

Carpool lanes are great, they reduce pollution, reward environmentalism, and make the world a better place |
They wasted billions, reduced road capacity (increase pollution), decrease carpooling, increase injuries. |
Supporting them is anti-environment, anti-economics and anti-science.
When this was proven before they deployed them, California deployed them anyways. When it was shown in data what they were doing, California scaled them up anyway. When you show a progressive these truths, they usually doubt you until the data proves them wrong, then they call you names and go away.
