Section 24-8 - Signs, Awnings, Canopies, Marquees, and Other Intrusion

(a) No signs, canopies, marquees, or similar installations shall be erected on or protrude into the right-of-way in rural areas except for official signs marking buried pipeline or cable.

(b) Within the corporate limits of a city or town as designated by the Department, erection of awnings, canopies, marquees, and on-premises advertising signs shall be allowed subject to the following:

(i) The sign, awning, canopy, or other installation shall be supported totally from a building or supports outside the right-of-way.

(ii) The right-of-way line shall be within 4 feet of the face of the building from which the business is conducted.

(iii) The roadway section at the point in question shall have a curb and gutter.

(iv) The farthest protrusion into the right-of-way shall be at least 2 feet behind the back of the curb.

(v) The vertical clearance shall not be less than that required by the ordinance of the nearest city. Desirable vertical clearance is 10 feet, but consideration shall be given for a lower clearance based on justification and site conditions.

(c) The protrusion of signs, canopies, and other installations into the right-of-way is an illegal encroachment and shall not be permitted unless all the preceding criteria of this section are met. Encroachments meeting the preceding requirements shall be permitted if, in the Department's judgment, the installation does not in any manner detract from the effectiveness of official traffic control devices or constitute a traffic hazard.
