A reader who works for a mortuary asks about the use of HOV lanes when transporting the dead. Our traffic columnist tracks down the answer.
Mark A. Barron said he works for a mortuary and transports bodies, picking up bodies after death and driving them to and from the coroner’s office. Barron asked if it’s legal to drive in a freeway carpool lane if you’re in a vehicle transporting a body. “It is human, not a mannequin or an inflatable doll but a human being.
HOV lanes are a traffic-management strategy to encourage ridesharing, reducing traffic jams by maximizing the number of people in one vehicle so fewer vehicles are on the road. Having a corpse in the vehicle does not accomplish this. “Obviously, a dead person can’t drive,” said California Highway Patrol Officer Dan Olivas of the Inland Division.
explains, “Who Can Use HOV Lanes?” Here is what it says: “Motorcycles, mass transit, and vehicles with two or more occupants are allowed to access the HOV lanes during their operational hours. An ‘occupant’ is defined as any person who occupies a safety restraint device, i.e., seat belt.”Jim Reis of Corona asked how he would go about having potholes repaired on his street. He lives near the corner of Regent and Fairmont drives.
