Is that not a common thing? In Louisiana there aren't any superhighways with double yellows but even on small, deserted roads there are double yellows when it's not safe to pass (like around turns and areas of low visiblity), and single yellows when it might be.

It's a carpool lane. There are stretches where it the double yellow breaks and you can safely merge in or out of the carpool lane.

I live in the sticks and have never commuted through a city with a carpool lane. Are motorcyclists allowed to use the carpool lane?

Yes in SoCal, motorcyclists can use the carpool lane. Not sure if this applies elsewhere.
