18.6.404    LOCATION OF QUALIFIED BUSINESSES FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION (LOGO) SIGNS

(1) Specific information (LOGO) signs may be erected only for qualified businesses located within three miles of an interchange as measured from the gore of the exit ramp along public highways to the nearest point of intersection of the driveway of the qualified business and public highway, except as provided below.

(2) If, within the three mile limit, facilities for the services being considered are not available or choose not to participate in the program, the limit of eligibility may be extended in three mile increments until one or more facilities for the services chooses to participate, or until 15 miles is reached, whichever comes first. If considered, all qualified businesses within the service category and within the successive increment may be included, but not to exceed the maximum capacity of the specific service sign.

(3) A qualified business located more than three miles from an interchange may not qualify for signing if a motorist could obtain similar services adjacent to the next interchange by traveling fewer miles.
