What on earth happened here? Perhaps, giving the driver the supreme benefit of the doubt, there was a garage where the pool now stands? Or maybe it really is car pool related and represents an area mis-marked as a high occupancy vehicle lane (HOV)?  Originally reserved for vehicles with a driver and one or more passengers and also known as car pool, express and transit lanes, HOV lanes since their inception have mostly been on the road. In some areas, such as Southern California, Hartford, Connecticut, Seattle Area, Boston Area and the Greater Toronto Area, the HOV lanes are full-time, while in others, such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, Long Island, and Northern New Jersey, they are usable by other vehicles outside of peak hours.

HOV car pool lanes are rarely found elsewhere. Perhaps this is a very wet exception to the rule?
