(Salt Lake)- Lawmakers moved Tuesday toward capping how many non-carpoolers may use freeway express lanes, creating a new "In God We Trust" license plate and allowing drivers at some unusual new interchanges to turn either right or left on red lights.

However, Utah Department of Transportation officials say such cars are becoming so popular that they could eventually swamp the express lanes, so they want the ability to cap numbers if needed.
