There are 2 major problems with making I95s HOV lanes HOV 2. The number of cars on 95 with a HOV 2 would increase ALOT slowing down traffic and thus reducing the effectiveness/incentive to carpool. Also you just cant look at the flow of traffic for another problem (big problem) would be the backup caused at the exit ramps..such as the pentagon. It now gets backed upped at times with HOV 3...just could not handle HOV2 or could that exit ramped be changed without great expense.
