Why?

Someone is going to ferris bueller on the 635 upslope near the galleria someday. I see people doing 110 down there all the time.
I know, right? Why would they want to include those vehicles, and charge them extra per axle and make more money? Those companies hate money, right?TexasAggie008 said:
Well , flat out banning 18 wheelers from using them would be a step ... and utility vehicles etc. ridiculous they didn't think of that
Estimate the $/year they expect from 18 wheelers as it is now, then ban them and make the cost for other vehicles whatever it takes to even it out....If 18 wheelers gum up a brand new one way, non passable express lane, many people will just say screw it and not use it....The fact that anyone thinks its totally fine for a lumbering 18 wheeler to chug along at 60MPH in these things is surprising.helgs said:I know, right?

I hate the fact that there are only on-ramps to the express lanes every 5-10 miles or so. You have to basically predict the traffic because the on-ramp (in Las Colinas going west-bound towards DFW airport) is in an area that always flows well, and the traffic (if any) is miles ahead. But if you don't get on it, then you're stuck in traffic and would greatly be a paying customer.
Nothing more that I hate in driving is when you get on an Express lane and the regular lanes are flowing just fine (and in some cases, like OP, going faster than you because you're stuck behind an idiot).
The greatest thing happened this morning.752bro4 said:
Because people are typically dumb, inconsiderate, not paying attention, and have no awareness as to what they are doing. Sadly, this is not just related to 114 drivers. My commute every single day up and down 75 involves at least a few idiots cruising at 55 or 60 in the left lane.
I wish DPS/DPD would begin ticketing this behavior and making a big movement for awareness that driving in the left lane while not passing means you're an ashsole.
