That doesn't really change the nature of what I was saying at all;
it's still a restricted lane 24 hours.  Some close at night, some
allow single-occupant tolls, others go bus only at night.  But, that
doesn't change the ultimate point, which is we have a limited-access
lane that functionally has a median between it and the rest of traffic
in most locations.
