My info is way out of date but at one time the bridges and tunnels around 
NYC had tolls going in but not coming out, or maybe the other way around. 
That made more sense than manning booths in both directions.

The infection of Express Lanes started in Southern California and
spread northward. Now, you see N-lane freeways with empty left lane(s)
during rush times. Great for the police to zoom along on, not so great
for everyone not wanting to pay five dollar tolls (or for now, having
the money to buy an electric car). They've also bumped up the minimum
for a 'multi-user' vehicle from 2 to 3 people.

Several years ago the state of Washington made the inner lane(s) of I-405 into
HOV/toll lanes:  Depending on TOD, 2 or more people in an auto can use them for
free, while single occupant (or 2 occupant if the minimum is 3+) pay a toll.

The prices have gone up every legislative session, but the toll lanes are just
as congested as ever, because the Microsofties and Amazonians making ridiculous
salaries can afford the $20 each way that they're now being charged.

So it's a rich nerd tax that they pay voluntarily.  What's not to like?

Here in the mysterious east there are HOV lanes which are free but you
need at least two or three people in the vehicle. If you have an EV
you can get a sticker that lets you drive in the HOV lane on some NJ
and NY roads but that ends in September.

On the DC to VA I-95 section, there are such. These are often
called "slug lanes" and there are informally designated slug
locations to wait for a car needing passengers to meet up with
them.

The biggest slug route start/end point is the Pentagon. One
southern end is some parking lot ~30 minutes+ in Occoquan but
others exist.

They are QUITE popular.

Until a decade or so ago the George Washington Bridge had
a hefty discount if you had 3 or more people in your car.

So... potential passengers would hang out at bus stops
near the bridge.  Drivers would pick them up, thus getting
the lower rate and.. the passengers would pay less (or
even nothing...) compared to the bus crossing.

So the Port Authority Police started arresting them....

The Port Authority of NY and NJ owns and operates
the George Washington Bridge which crosses the Hudson
River between Fort Lee, NJ, and Manhattan.

The PANYNJ has its own highly paid police force (note
tehy also run the three major airports).  Why did
the cops arrest these folk?  Quite likely to get
easy, pensionable, overtime...

Good question.  Hitchhiking?  Loitering?

 39:4-59. Begging rides prohibited 
 No person shall stand in a highway for the purpose of or while
 soliciting a ride from the operator of any vehicle other than an
 omnibus or a street car.

I presume highway means the right of way, not just the travel lanes.

Ah, interesting, you have a law against Hitchhiking, calling it "begging 
a ride".

Maybe they can beg a ride at a gas/coffee stop?


Here we can not stop at at a motorway, meaning those roads with two or 
more lanes for high speed, no intersections. No stop except emergencies, 
force majeur. Hitchhiking is not explicitly forbidden, AFAIK, just the 
stopping.

In this case, there's no point. There's no HOV lane so there's no
incentive for drivers to pick people up. There is a bus stop at the
bridge entrance with service every few minutes, fare $1.50.

Could be a number of reasons, including safety at
the pickup and dropoff sites,  interfering
with bus operations, or they could just be pricks.

I recall rush-hour hitchhikers in DC, among the federal buildings -- something
like Constitution Ave and 23rd St.?

Unusually for hitchhikers, clad in suits, ties, often holding an attaché case,
standing strategically placed at a light where it's easy to be checked out, and
a driver can reasonably pick up a person without stopping in traffic.

They're called "casual carpools" when crossing the SF Bay
Bridge, and are quite popular - particularly when BART is
down.

Leading to increased sales of inflatable dummies...  Can bikes use the HOV 
lanes?

Bikes don't need a lane in California, sadly.

I gather that some well publicised expensive tickets that is uncommon.

A more interesting case was in some midwestern state where a pregnant woman
said her fetus was a person under state law, so there were two people in the car.
Don't remember how that turned out.

>Can bikes use the HOV lanes?

Motorcycles can.  Bicycles aren't allowed on freeways except for a few very
rural ones that allow them on the shoulder because there is no other road to
where they go.

That would make right-wingers’ heads explode, wouldn’t it? “Life begins at 
conception” for the purpose of denying women healthcare, but not for the 
purpose of issuing traffic fines!
