What to Do

Use a designated entry or exit section instead of crossing the prohibited area.

A Detail to Remember

Being eligible to use an HOV lane does not make every point along it a legal access point.

Understanding Lane Use Signs

Lane-use signs work with the road markings. Match the arrow or symbol to your lane before the decision point, and choose a safe route if you cannot change lanes in time.
