"New carpool lane hours are coming next month to Highway 101 in Sonoma and Marin counties, Caltrans announced Wednesday. Beginning in late February, high occupancy vehicle hours will be 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The new schedule, based on a Caltrans traffic analysis this month, will cover the stretch between the Richardson Bay Bridge in Marin County and Windsor in Sonoma County."
"The update follows a previous, highly unpopular change to HOV hours in September, which contributed to congestion and delays through parts of Highway 101. Hours, at the time, had been extended from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the morning, and in the evening from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Prior to September, carpool hours in Marin were 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. in the southbound lanes and 4:30 to 7 p.m. for the northbound lanes."
High occupancy vehicle hours on Highway 101 between the Richardson Bay Bridge in Marin County and Windsor in Sonoma County will be 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday starting in late February. The schedule is based on a recent traffic analysis and depends on completion of new signs and weather conditions. The change aims to provide carpool lanes, encourage transit in the North Bay, and help relieve congestion on the US-101 corridor. The update follows an unpopular September extension of HOV hours that contributed to congestion and prompted resident complaints about travel timing.
