In the Bay Area, some drivers are frequently cutting in and out of freeway express lanes to evade tolls, while others falsely claim to have passengers to qualify for carpool lane access. This behavior has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the lane detection systems designed to catch violators.
Despite these issues, express lanes continue to generate millions of dollars more than initially projected, with a portion of the revenue allocated to enforcement efforts. Many drivers remain undeterred, risking fines to access the faster lanes.
To combat this problem, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has implemented various enforcement strategies, including deploying officers to stake out freeways in an effort to catch those who violate the rules. The CHP is committed to ensuring that express lanes remain fair and accessible for all drivers.
