Fog can be a trick! When I designed the 91 Express Lanes, I built a vehicle sensor that was basically two laser light curtains abount a foot apart. I designed it to only distinguish vehicles going in the proper direction. What I hadn't anticipated was fog. I heard that, one day a few months after I was let go, they had thick fog move through the pass, and recorded hundreds of phantom cars in the toll lanes! Charlie
