This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 28-7916, which would allow cities and towns to install wayfinding signs for specific preapproved locations without the need for a preapproval application to the department. The current law does not provide such an exemption, requiring municipalities to seek approval before placing signage.

The new provisions specify that the cities or towns must submit the final design and placement of the signs to the department, but they can do so without prior application. The preapproved locations for these wayfinding signs include downtown areas, business districts, schools, parks, arboretums, trails, community centers, municipal buildings, airports, and bus or rail depots. This change aims to streamline the process for municipalities to enhance navigation and accessibility within their jurisdictions.
