Here is a photo of one of the HOV restriction signs:

This sign seems perfectly clear, provided of course one has learned the acronym "HOV".
These signs (and they are large signs, the small no-truck sign in the photo above it itself about 2 feet by 2 feet) exist at every on-ramp for I-66, sometimes more than one of them.
- speedplane 9y agoAgreed, they are perfectly clear to everyone who knows what they are in the first place. Not so clear to everyone else.
- broknbottle 9y agoIf you're not familiar with HOV lanes then they're not clear. I recently moved to the Northern Virginia area, coming from Michigan a state without HOV/Toll Roads, I was not familiar with all this nonsense.
- AndrewKemendo 9y agoThose look like any other sign that is routinely ignored by most drivers because they assume they aren't applicable - like: "Over 13 feet must exit" "No trucks" etc...
