[QUOTE="Makuna, post: 508774, member: 9768"] Will not vote for it. HOV lanes are social management tool to get people to stop using multiperson vechicles as a single person vehicle. With bikes you can fit more of them in the same space as a car (staggered driving and smaller parking). I don't remember anything being listed as a reason for safety. If people want to move faster in their car, share the ride or get a ride (bike). When I go into Seattle from where I live, if I am alone I ride the bike as the HOV lane allows me to get to 520 floating bridge using the HOV lane in a reasonable time (10 minutes not an hour+). Opening one more lane to that traffic will do very little to solve the bottle neck (this is traffic into the city during rush hour!). Riding across the 520 bridge in wind does require some strong concentration though. [/QUOTE]
