I was wondering if the lights aren't flashing on the sign you don't have to enter the inspection station right before the tunnel on I64 in Hampton, VA. Because it looked like someone was in the booth but the sign lights weren't flashing and the sign I noticed as I'm driving by said it was open 24 hours

It's manned 24-7 for the vehicles that do have to pull in there.....but no unless it's flashing you don't enter
Plumberboy2011 Thanks this. -
I live close to this area and to be honest I have not paid much attention to it. In the case of east bound the bridge tunnel is a foot higher then the west bound and I think their primary goal is keeping prohibited hazmat out of the HRBT. I am not sure but I don't think the officers that man the stations are even DOT enforcement officers.

They aren't DOT officers they work for the tunnel. You only have to stop if you are hauling hazmat, or your. Oversize, I think 10'6" wide or more. The only other reason to pull in is if your over height,the the look lights come on and you must pull in.

I used to work there. Why did I give up that easy job? I was a tow truck driver but I also would work the over height stations when short handed.
Now I'm a truck driver. Truck driver is a hard job to leave because it's hard to get a job making as much money. -
A lot of us make more than those with college degrees.
