I saw the huge sign stating "HOV enforcement ahead" or something similar. Who was the brainiac who located this sign prior to the 495 and Parkway exits? And where was the enforcement...

There was another "violator sweep" this morning from Va 644 (OKM Rd)to at least the Seminary Rd area at about 6:15 to 6:30. [:D] Not as many Troopers as the previous sweep, but we saw 4 or 5 violators (and one broken down vehicle - the hood was up) being "greeted" by officers enforcing HOV restrictions this morning. [;)]
Again, three cheers for the law enforcement community keeping cheaters out of the HOV lanes. Way to go State Troopers! [^]

Keep on sluggin'! [:)]

I counted no less than 15 state troopers doing HOV enforcement when I came through between 6:20-6:40. I was proud of them guys! They were all over the place and all were busy writing tickets! It was a great day to be a slug and a bad day to be a cheat (as if there are any good days to be a cheat)

I saw the Springfield ramp, from the HOV lanes to 95 proper, littered with the ravaged carcasses of fleeing violators, who took the bait, only to be cannalized into the pre-prepped, Trooper kill zone.

Ha, ha! Too much fun!

Baz,
I think DaVets means the last exit from HOV before the Farnconia-Springfield Parkway HOV exit. That's the exit that flys over the regular lanes and then drops traffic back onto the regular northbound I-95 lanes so the traffic can get on the Beltway and head for Baltimore or Tysons Corner. Appears the end of that exit is what he is referring to as "95 proper". [:I]

No matter how you say it, cops ticketing violators is a great thing for all the legal HOV users! The 4 of us in my carpool sure love it!Hope they keep up the enforcement! [:D]

Keep on sluggin'! [:)]
