I heard they were thinking of changing these lanes so that carpoolers can enter and exit them any time they want, rather than just at selected open sections. This will eliminate the “People entering the freeway exhibit the mad 'lemming-rush' to get into the carpool lane, thereby cutting off everybody else and bringing traffic to a crawl” effect.
We have that already here, but to my mind it just makes it worse. If people know they can't enter the carpool lane for another mile or two, they won't be rushing over there. If they can get on RIGHT NOW, then they'll kill each other (and you) to get there RIGHT NOW!
