A HOV Sign is MUTCD compliant for the safety standards of drivers on roadways and parking areas. A HOV Sign is a helpful tool to help enforce traffic regulation and display mandatory information to drivers and pedestrians.
Which Material Do I Choose?
Available in 3 MUTCD compliant reflective materials:
Engineering grade (Type I) - The most economical choice and is best suited for parking lots and low volume roads
High Intensity Prismatic (Type IV) - The best value based on reflective performance, durability, and price
Diamond Grade Prismatic (Type IX) - The best choice for superior reflectivity and public roadway usage.
Compliance
Section 2B.20 Mandatory Movement Lane Control Signs (R3-5, R3-5a, R3-7, and R3-20)
Guidance
If the R3-5 or R3-5a sign is post-mounted on an approach with two or fewer through lanes, a supplemental plaque, such as LEFT LANE (R3-5bP), HOV 2+ (R3-5cP), TAXI LANE (R3-5dP), CENTER LANE (R3-5eP), RIGHT LANE (R3-5fP), BUS LANE (R3-5gP), or BOTH LANES, should be added above the sign to indicate the specific lane to which the mandatory movement applies. If Mandatory Lane Movement Control (R3-5) symbol signs with supplemental R3-5bP or R3-5fP plaques are used, they should be mounted adjacent to and along only the full-width portion of the turn lane.
