TOLLROADSnews: LA's 10 ExpressLanes see first workday's traffic (http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/6426)
QuoteToll express lanes on the I-10 in Los Angeles reportedly worked well on their first workday today. Traffic was split about equally between free HOV3s (3 or more occupants) and toll paying vehicles, the operator LA Metro reports.
QuoteSpeeds in the lanes were maintained at more than the target minimum of 45mph throughout. Traffic was light.
QuoteThe 10-ExpressLanes opened Saturday morning and the weekend traffic was uneventful, but an opportunity to get systems working.
QuoteAll vehicles traveling in the lanes are supposed to have a FasTrak brand transponder, which has three settings for three toll schedules - HOV3+ free, HOV2 discounted, solo driver full toll.
