Everywhere I've driven in the US with HOV lanes, also has the restricted lane(s) separated from the unrestricted lanes by a single or double solid line and the lanes themselves have a diamond painted in them every X number of feet.
Even if you aren't able to read the entire sign, there are other clues that should alert you to the fact that you might not want to be in that lane.

You're supposed to read all road signs, and only after reading can you be sure that their information is redundant.
