LETTER: Getting wisftul over the empty Las Vegas HOV lane

Updated September 15, 2019 - 1:02 am

I just drove down U.S. highway 95, admiring the beautiful HOV lane next to me. However, no one was in it. The other lanes are bumper-to-bumper.

Nevada Highway Patrol officials are proud of all the citations they are issuing to hard-working citizens who stray into this lane. Tell me again: Why do we need this lane? All drivers are paying the same amount of fuel tax.
