[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 508326, member: 15488"] Posting here to target WA riders, as it didn't fit anywhere else and target only WA riders. I read this WA ballot initiative in more detail last night, and while most of us may vote against it because it creates funding and installation for red light cameras, my bigger problem was it opens up the HOV carpool lanes to all traffic (except from 6-9a and 3-6p). IMHO for riders, this is a BAD idea. First, HOV lanes are already widely available in many places after 7 pm, when traffic is lessened. Second and most important, during daylight hours, a reserved lane is simply that much safer for us riders. Imagine single occupancy nuts rolling in and out of these lanes during daytime riding hours. In many places, road traffic is pretty constant from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (not to mention weekends). If you had considered supporting Initiative 985 for other reasons, please rethink your support as a rider. If you hadn't considered whether to vote for or against it, please reconsider. NO ON I 985. Spread the word. [/QUOTE]
