Good news for those who come into and leave Los Angeles everyday via the 5 freeway from the north county: those carpool lanes that have been under construction for a while are opening Friday. The lanes are a first for the 5 freeway in Los Angeles County and is part of a larger scheme to go carpool lane crazy in that part of town. Future lanes will connect the project to the 118 and 170 arteries with plans for a direct carpool connector at the I-5/14 Interchange and a lane down the 170 to the 134.
"This HOV [High Occupany Vehicle] lane project will improve mobility, help to alleviate congestion, encourage carpooling and improve air quality," Caltrans spokeswoman Jeanne Bonfilio said in a announcement this afternoon. "In addition, soundwalls have been constructed at various locations along the project area to improve the quality of life for residents who live alongside the I-5 Freeway."

Be the instrument of change. Try carpool and save fuel and your dough. Everyone is so busy with their work, careers, study, business and others. Transportation is a great requirement of modern living. However, just because you need it doesn't mean you have to let GM or any one else's marketing department tells you how to do it. If you let them tell you how to do everything, you will need cash advance loans just to be able to get to work every day. For instance, you could carpool. Lots of people do it and have done so for a long time. Also, if you live close enough to work, you can start riding a bike. No gas and you get in better shape. (Win – win.) There's also public transport, and all of these are cheaper modes of transportation.
