Figure 2G-7. Entrance Gore Signs for Barrier-Separated Preferential Lanes

This figure shows two examples of entrance gore signs for barrier-separated preferential lanes.

A note states: "Examples of HOV Lane (diamond symbol) signs are illustrated. For other types of preferential lanes, the appropriate symbol or word message (see Section 2G.03) is displayed in white on the black background of the top portion of these signs."

E8-1 is shown as a vertical rectangular green sign with a white border and legend. The top third of the sign is shown as a black panel with a white diamond outline symbol centered horizontally. This panel is shown above the words "HOV LANE ENTRANCE" on three lines above a diagonal arrow pointing down and to the left.

E8-1a is shown as identical to E8-1 except without the word "ENTRANCE."
