High-tech carpool lane
High-tech carpool lane
Engineers installed three 25-foot-tall net assemblies, the first in Texas, on the highways because the single carpool lane will reverse directions daily. Northbound traffic will use the HOV lane in the morning, southbound in the afternoon. Without the nets at HOV lane entrances, motorists conceivably could enter them headed the wrong way and cause head-on collisions.
