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!
