The commuter lanes on our freeways should be reviewed for their
benefit or lack thereof, regarding air pollution. 

One suggestion is to eliminate them, so that traffic can move
easier in the other lanes, with less slow and/or stop-and-go
periods, as more vehicles would be in the commuter lane, thus,
freeing up the other lanes, to reduce slow and stop-and-go
conditions. 

Another, and possibly more important, suggestion is to allow
trucks to use the commuter lanes at all times, to reduce the
amount of time when they are stuck in slow traffic. When they are
traveling slowly or at a stop-and-go pace, they create a lot more
pollution than having them move along at steady, higher speeds.
