MUTCD R3-10 HOV Occupancy Definition (Post-mount)

MUTCD R3-10 HOV Occupancy Definition (Post-mount) Sign

The MUTCD R3-10 HOV Occupancy Definition (Post-mount) sign is essential for enhancing traffic safety and managing high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Compliant with the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), this sign provides clear, enforceable instructions to ensure that only vehicles meeting the specified occupancy requirements can use designated HOV lanes. This helps reduce congestion in regular traffic lanes and promotes efficient use of roadways.

Agencies use this sign where they deem it appropriate to define the minimum number of occupants required for vehicles to utilize HOV lanes. By clearly communicating these regulations, the sign improves compliance and ensures the smooth flow of traffic in busy urban areas and on highways.
