MUTCD R3-11A HOV Only Lane (Days & Times) (Post-mount)

MUTCD R3-11A HOV Only Lane (Days & Times) Sign (Post-mount)

The MUTCD R3-11A HOV Only Lane (Days & Times) sign provides crucial information for drivers about high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane usage, enhancing road safety by clearly indicating access restrictions based on specified days and times. This sign complies with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), ensuring it meets federal standards for traffic control. It plays a vital role in reducing congestion, optimizing lane use, and preventing unauthorized entry into HOV lanes.

For HOV lanes operating full-time, the MUTCD requires the use of full-time signs (R3-11b, R3-14b), or the modification of part-time signs (R3-11, R3-11A, R3-14, R3-14A) to reflect "24 HOURS" where applicable.
