Letters: HOV cheaters need to be ticketed

Better yet, put in a camera system to eliminate the HOV cheaters.

Who is responsible for the Massey Tunnel in Delta?

There doesn’t appear to be any highway patrol unit assigned to that section of highway.

HOV lanes are great if only we’d police them. Some people seem to feel that one or two tickets a year are a cheap fee for all the time in traffic they save.

My pet peeve is the Massey Tunnel. Frequently coming through it northbound at 5:30 p.m., it often takes 20 to 25 minutes to go the two km. It boils my blood to see all the single occupant vehicles using the HOV lane. The longer the lineup, the more HOV cheaters there are.

Since it is going to be 10 years before we fix this colossal traffic problem, tickets should be handed out there at least once a week. Better yet, put in a camera system to eliminate the HOV cheaters.
