City of Alexandria issued the following announcement on Oct. 29
Starting December 1, the City of Alexandria will resume enforcement of state vehicle registration decals, expired driver’s licenses, and HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane restrictions, which includes ticketing for registration violations; motorists not traveling in compliance with the HOV rules; and related parking violations.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Governor Ralph Northam’s order to close Virginia Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) offices and mobile units, in April 2020, the City temporarily suspended issuing citations for expired state vehicle registration decals; expired driver’s licenses; and suspended HOV lane restrictions. Although DMV offices reopened in the fall of 2020, the City continued to suspend enforcement of the requirements because of a several month DMV backlog in scheduling the necessary appointments.
