 a 55 MPH speed limit (the only one in the USA), a huge amount of large
 trucks, 30% double rigged, and trucks are about every third vehicle on the
 highway and you have CHAOS.

The only way I could see it working in NJ is if it was done the way they do 
it in Conn.  The HOV lane is a separate lane off to the left by itself.  It 
has its own entrance and exit ramps.  On fortunately, that would require 
tremendous amounts of money to pull off.
