I was disappointed to read that LSVs cannot use the diamond lane. I appreciate it when an LSV driver pulls into the diamond lane to allow a line of autos to safely pass. I know they have the right to stay in the vehicular lane, but it seems courteous to me to allow autos at 30 mph to get around an LSV at 25 mph when the LSV uses the diamond lane temporarily. I imagine the problem is that if one vehicle type is allowed into the diamond lane, it would be hard to cite someone in an auto for using that lane to pass someone making a left turn.
