The proposed freeway mainline widening will accommodate a variety of potential configurations, which may include the addition of general purpose (GP) lanes, enhancement of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, implementation of Express Lanes, or a combination of the aforementioned. The I-605 CIP proposes to add freeway lanes on I-605 from Fairton Street undercrossing to 0.5 mile north of I-10. MUTCD HOV Lane Markings So make sure that you enter and exit the carpool lane where there are broken white lines and you’ll keep yourself from breaking the law and hopefully keep yourself safe.The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in coordination with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), Gateway Cities Council of Governments, and San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, proposes the Interstate 605 (I-605) Corridor Improvement Project (CIP) (I-605 CIP or project), which includes improvements to I-605 in Los Angeles County between Interstate 105 (I-105) and Interstate 10 (I-10). The change is obviously still happening and I imagine it will be an ongoing project for years to come. Cal Trans started making the change back in 2010 in order to comply with the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices ( MUTCD). Many carpool or HOV lanes had double yellow lines painted beside them to make it clear that no one should enter or exit the carpool lane. (b) Upon the approach of an authorized emergency vehicle displaying a red light or siren, as specified in Section 21806, a person driving a vehicle in an exclusive or preferential use lane shall exit that lane immediately upon determining that the exit can be accomplished with reasonable safety So Why Did The California Department of Transportation Make the Change to White? You Can Only Cross Over the Double White Lines When An Emergency Vehicle Is Coming Built in the 1960s, the freeway carries between 257,000 and. ![]() California Vehicle Code Section 21655.8 states: (a) Except as required under subdivision (b), when exclusive or preferential use lanes for high-occupancy vehicles are established pursuant to Section 21655.5 and double parallel solid lines are in place to the right thereof, no person driving a vehicle may cross over these double lines to enter into or exit from the exclusive or preferential use lanes, and entrance or exit may be made only in areas designated for these purposes or where a single broken line is in place to the right of the exclusive or preferential use lanes. The I-405 freeway experiences heavy traffic congestion and conditions are expected to worsen. (b) If double parallel solid white lines are in place, a person driving a vehicle shall not cross any part of those double solid white lines, except as permitted in this section or Section 21655.8. So can you cross over the white lines? No, You Cannot Legally Cross Over the Double White LinesĬalifornia Vehicle Code Section 21460 (b) makes it clear that you cannot cross over the double white lines. Most people clearly understand that it is illegal to cross over double yellow lines per California Vehicle Code Section 21460 (a): “If double parallel solid yellow lines are in place, a person driving a vehicle shall not drive to the left of the lines, except as permitted in this section.” One exception would be if you are “turning to the left at an intersection or into or out of a driveway or private road…” ( California Vehicle Code Section 21460 (d)(1)) But the new white lines have people confused. People Understand Not to Cross Over Double Yellow Lines, But What About Double White Lines? You can get a parking pass from the guard at the front gate. Remain in either of the left two lanes and merge onto Lincoln Blvd. If you’re confused about those new double white lines next to the carpool lane in California, you are not alone. From the East (using the 105 Freeway): Travel on 105 West, exit on Sepulveda Blvd., and go north. ![]()
