If it's "Suspended" you can cross the double whites. They've covered up the signs saying you can't. If it's "Free" you can't.

Not sure why Utah has a HOV lane anymore. Nobody follows the rules to use it.

Because of construction on I-15 South the HOV lane is exempt right now. It says

I've always been confused about that as those signs reminding drivers of that

You probably can. If the lane says "exempt" or "HOV suspended" why would the

They removed one of the lines going southbound in thanksgiving point so you can

Actually that is false...

CoachSpeak

This is correct. Cannot cross double whites in suspended zones.

Interesting.

There is no double white line SB in Thanksgiving point right now

Right, but there is a long stretch of SB I-15 in SL county that does still have

If that is the case then they need to uncover those signs...

CoachSpeak

It depends on the area from what I was told.

Spindash

I would imagine most troopers are common sense kinds of guys...

I agree, I think a lot are.

Just tweeted at the Utah Highway Patrol about this. Lets see what they say

I don’t understand all the people who get in the HOV lane, then go 65 mph.

PREACH!!! I cannot stand this.

sumba20

5/15/19 8:38am

I don't understand the need for people to go 80mph when the speed limit is 70.

You're the one at fault if you don't move over...

CoachSpeak

5/15/19 8:51am

I partially agree with this

FatherOFive

5/15/19 8:53am

Oh I agree, but if you are in the left lane you need to move...

CoachSpeak

5/15/19 8:55am

No argument from me on that point. 🙂

FatherOFive

5/15/19 8:59am

That's the way to do it...

CoachSpeak

5/15/19 9:14am

Not sure this is true if you are in the HOV lane. At least in CA.

kcca

It isn't for the HOV lane...

You will get ran off the road or rear-ended if you go 70

If I'm in one of the two right-most lanes

FatherOFive

5/15/19 9:07am

"I don't get why you go 80, I go 75" lol what's the difference?

HOV should be 4 or more, not two.....

Certainly wouldn't work at the south end of SL county. Afternoon traffic is bad

IOW, if my assumption is correct, I don't think it could work the same in Utah

Not sure why Utah has traffic laws in general. Just sayin

The solid white rule is ridiculously stupid & unsafe.

They could do like what I think I saw in Denver.....HOV lane was separated from

StarMan

Yes and they switch direction of traffic based on the commute times

pegushin

The double whites go on for way too long and the dotted lines are way to

flavordave

5/15/19 9:53am

That's because it is currently suspended as an HOV lane...

CoachSpeak

That's not the only reason, though.
