PUBLIC NOTICE

2310 Outdoor Advertising

The Department of Transportation has developed a general revision of its Outdoor Advertising regulations.

The last such general revision took place many years ago. The development of digital advertising media and other changes in both Federal and State law regarding outdoor advertising caused the Department to engage in this process.

Among other changes, the regulations would refer to the National Highway System, instead of the prior references to the Interstate and Primary System. It adds and updates several definitions, such as decorative subdivision entrance signs and historical markers, and makes other changes to deal with variable message signs.

The Department will take written comments on the proposed Outdoor Advertising Regulations for this from March 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015. The proposed Regulations appear below.

Any requests for copies of the proposed Regulations, or any questions or comments regarding this document should be directed to:
