. The double yellow lane stripes between the high occupancy vehicle/carpool lanes and general purpose lanes are no longer the standard stripes, according to Terri Kasinga, Caltrans District 8 chief for public and legislative affairs.
“Yellow stripes are used to delineate opposite direction of travel, for example the median (on a freeway),” Kasinga wrote in an e-mail. “Legislation was passed to eliminate the yellow stripes used between HOV/carpool lanes and general purpose lanes. For new projects, a solid white stripe (for which a lane change is prohibited or discouraged) or broken white stripes (a lane change is permitted) are now implemented.”
