MUTCD R3-10A ILEV Allowed (Post-mount) Sign
The MUTCD R3-10A ILEV Allowed (Post-mount) sign ensures that inherently low emission vehicles (ILEV) are authorized to use designated high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, regardless of the number of occupants. This sign complies with the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), helping to reduce environmental impact while providing clarity for drivers and enforcement agencies. It is ideal for areas where environmental regulations permit certain vehicles to bypass occupancy restrictions in HOV lanes.
Agencies should install this sign where labeled and certified ILEV vehicles are permitted to use HOV lanes, regardless of the number of occupants. The R3-10A sign should be post-mounted in advance of HOV lanes and at intervals along the lanes, ensuring drivers are well-informed throughout their journey.

Sheeting Options Explained
- Engineer Grade Prismatic: Provides reliable reflectivity for general use in moderate lighting conditions. This sheeting is typically used in lower-traffic areas where basic visibility is required.
- High Intensity Prismatic (3M): Offers enhanced reflectivity compared to standard options, making it ideal for high-traffic areas where greater visibility is crucial.
- Diamond Grade (3M): The highest level of reflectivity available, providing optimal visibility in challenging lighting or weather conditions. Perfect for high-risk areas and zones requiring maximum attention.
Applications
The MUTCD R3-10A ILEV Allowed (Post-mount) sign is commonly used along HOV lanes on highways and major urban roadways where inherently low emission vehicles are permitted to bypass standard occupancy restrictions. By allowing ILEVs to use these lanes, traffic flow is optimized, reducing congestion and promoting environmental sustainability. This sign is critical in regions with green vehicle incentives or mandates.
