I’m sure there’s signage that the OP probably ignored, because it’s so much more fun to flaunt one’s ignorance on social media than to realize things probably have simple explanations.

Responses:

It's double white solid normally. Some states use a skip for portions where it's acceptable to enter and exit. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 08:38
Yes, I see these HOV lines either around Richmond or Norfolk. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 08:26
We don't have HOV lanes (that I'm aware of) anywhere. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 20, 08:22 4
- Neither do we. -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 08:42
- Don't you have them around 295 in Jacksonville? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 08:41 2
  - nope, but there is a new toll lane down the middle both ways. (There MIGHT be some down in Miami area.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 20, 08:53
  - Road trip! -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 08:42
Don't HOV lanes have diamonds in them so you know what that lane is for? -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 08:06 1
- Probably there somewhere, if not in the shot. There also looks to be a black sign over the two left lanes ahead that you can barely see, which I’m betting designates it as well. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 20, 08:38
Yup, here it's much more clearly designated. I also considered some kind of evacuation route planning. -- nm - Meg Jul 20, 07:56
