Tech stops car pooler cheats

New technology is stopping those who try to use the car-pooling lane at the Thonex-Vallard border.

Since 2018, there’s been a dedicated lane for cars carrying more than one person. But many single drivers have been slipping through. 

And it’s been getting worse – recently it’s actually been a majority of cars.

Now there’s a barrier and a camera which can tell how many occupants there are – and if it’s more than one, the barrier will lift. 

If the barrier stays closed, the driver is forced back into the main queue.
