Too bad the can't make it a faster (120kmh) lane with a minimum 100kmh limit.
There's no way that the leftmost lane on any highway should not be the passing lane and slower drivers in the HOV lane should not be impeding traffic in the passing lane (now the second from leftmost lane) by merging right to get off the highway.

The HOV lanes here are designed with the average Ontario driver in mind I'm afraid, which means that brain dead left is the only way that the HOV lanes can work :ph34r:
That means that if you travel the HOV lanes you risk getting stuck behind someone doing "the limit" without any regard to the flow of traffic behind them...
Then again if you qualify for the HOV lane you're already getting something more than the rest of us anyways, so don't expect me to feel all that sorry for you ;)
