We've got the QEW (Freeway) HOV lanes going now from Burlington to Oakville...it's a little weird flying by 3 lanes of stopped traffic at 120 kph...I'm a little afraid that someone in the stopped "fast" lane will blow a gasket (a la Michael Douglas) & cut into the HOV lane in front of me! :scared:
I just noticed today that they finally put up the "Green Vehicle" signs on the highway 417 HOV lane in west Ottawa.
Right now the Tesla and the electric smart car are the only vehicles that qualify for the green plates in Ontario. As far as I'm aware you can't actually get an electric Smart yet, and there are only two Tesla Roadsters in town. That means I'm one of two people who can actually use it.
Unfortunately it's a route I drive about once a month, never at rush hour, and rarely by myself...
