METRO holding off on 3-person HOV lane changes in Houston

Tuesday, January 15, 2019
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- METRO says they're holding off on requiring three or more people in some of its HOV lanes during peak travel times.

METRO was considering the plan on I-45 North Freeway, I-45 Gulf Freeway and I-69 Southwest Freeway due to heavy traffic in the HOV lanes causing slower speeds.

There is a federal requirement that the lane speed must maintain an overall average of at least 45 mph.

In 2019, METRO has decided to monitor speeds and weigh the options for commuters.
