Reassurance shield after the Microsoft exit. SR 520 employs the annoying practice of right lane carpool lanes to accommodate transit. This prevents vehicles from travelling too fast in the carpool lane, which takes out a lot of the incentive, and also makes exits complicated as you have to get over into the right lane at most 500 feet before the exit or you are violating carpool rules. So there’s a lot of traffic weaving in and out of these lanes. It seems like a pretty ineffective transit solution, but what do I know?
