Currently, signs on most highways must not be placed within 1,400 feet of an existing sign on the same side of the highway, with certain exceptions.
This bill adds an exception for situations where the property on which the new sign is to be erected has at least 500 feet of continuous frontage along the highway and the proposed sign structure otherwise complies with all applicable Federal law, local zoning ordinances, safety requirements, lighting standards, and permit requirements under this Chapter.
No sign structure erected after August 28, 2026, can be placed in a manner that would prevent an adjacent property owner with at least 500 feet of highway frontage from having an appropriate location to erect a sign structure.
