Virginia Police Step Up HOV Effort

RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia State Police will conduct special HOV enforcements on I-395 and I-95 starting Wednesday.

Officers will also target cars illegally parked on highway ramps waiting for the morning HOV restrictions to lift.

Sergeant Jim Deford with the Virginia State Police joined us with details.

HOV Rules
In response to increasing violation rates, Virginia State Police are increasing enforcement of northern Virginia's High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. Violation rates have risen so much, the HOV lanes are becoming congested, slowing legitimate HOV users who are following the rules of the road.

Virginia State Police are increasing patrols on I-95, I-395, I-66 and the Dulles Toll Road in order to stop violators who don't obey the HOV restrictions.
