This is not what we have in Los Angeles. We have bus lanes on the right in many places, where cars can only enter if they’re turning right. We have HOV lanes on freeways, on the left. It’s not a California thing
If so it’s spread north as far as Washington State, and likely others. And yeah, makes no sense at all. Bus lanes sure, but not carpool lanes on major arterials.
To me it’s starting to sound more like bad labeling or awareness campaign. It makes some sense if it’s “carpools are allowed to use the bus lane”, not so much when it’s “here is a lane to make it easier to carpool”.
That sounds like something California would come up with.
