NOT SO HOT LANES--October 2, 2012 - Atlanta, Ga.,: At 7:00 AM, rush hour traffic approaches the HOT lanes entrance near the Old Peachtree Road exit with a sign posting the current charges for use of the HOT lanes on I-85 south Tuesday morning in Duluth, Ga., October 2, 2012. This is the one-year anniversary of the HOT lanes on I-85. In its first 11 months, the I-85 HOT lanes took in $3.1 million. That's less than the $3.3 million to $6.7 million state predicted it would. On Tuesday morning, the toll rate matched its Sept. 11, 2012 all-time high, charging $5.95 for a ride on the whole 16-mile lane.
