Political Break-Connecticut HOV lanes are a failure

Liberal-feelgood-government-regulated-driving behavior takes another dive today as a Connecticut study proves that the HOV lanes are 50% under utilized. Some of these lanes were built as early as 1989 its now 2006.

To contrast this NJ's HOV lanes failed so quickly that they caused more traffic problems then they solved. If I am not mistaken we pulled out our HOV lanes in 1998. What most people fail to realize is that a lot of our traffic is former NJ and NY residents living in Pennsylvania driving through NJ to get back to NY for work. And with the suburban sprawl in NJ "sharing a ride" doesn't work.

I'm only amazed it took this long to be reported. They took 2.5 lanes worth of real estate and made 1 lane that could be used only by those entering the highway East of Vernon and exiting West of Hartford. All the taxpayers in between are locked out. I remember the governor saying something lame like "well I see people using it." So much for that emperer's new clothes. Maybe next time they'll just widen the roads.
