Butterflypool Lane

Soon to get carpool lane privileges

AFP:

Taiwanese authorities are to temporarily shut one lane of a busy road to protect millions of butterflies on their seasonal migration, officials said Saturday.

Under the measure, one lane of the freeway near Linei township in central Taiwan will be closed on the mornings of April 3-5 during the “peak hours” of the yearly migration by purple-spotted butterflies.

The measure may lead to traffic jams but it is worth doing, said Lee Thay-ming, head of the National Freeway Bureau.

Now that’s what I call “High Occupancy Lane.”
