The Department of Highways may install and maintain signs recognizing the
boundary of a city, town, or community whether incorporated or
unincorporated. These signs shall be installed regardless of whether the
community has a post office, if the Department of Highways had previously
erected signs recognizing the city, town, or community. The signs shall be
placed at the official community boundaries. If the community does not have
official boundaries, the signs shall be installed at the community boundaries as
determined by the built-up area.
The department shall install and maintain signs at the boundaries of any city or
an unincorporated urban place as defined in KRS 177.366, regardless of
whether the city or unincorporated urban place has a post office or zip code, if
the city or unincorporated urban place:
(a) Submits a written request for not more than two (2) signs:
1.
To honor the birthplace of a person important to the city or
unincorporated urban place; or
2.
To honor an event or accomplishment important to the city or
unincorporated urban place; and
(b) Agrees to pay for the actual cost to make and install the signs.
The department shall work with the city or unincorporated urban place to
determine the appropriate place to install the signs required under subsection
(2) of this section. If an agreement cannot be reached on the appropriate place
to install the signs, the site selected by the city or unincorporated urban place
shall take precedence and the department shall not prohibit and shall not delay
the installation of the signs.
Each city or unincorporated urban place requesting a sign under subsection (2)
of this section shall be limited to two (2) signs. Requests for additional signs
authorized under subsection (2) of this section in excess of two (2) by the same
city or unincorporated urban place shall be consolidated into a single sign.
All statutes to the contrary notwithstanding, the Transportation Cabinet shall
amend its policies and administrative regulations in effect on July 15, 2002, to
comply with the provisions of this section, and shall not subsequently adopt
new policies or promulgate new administrative regulations to the contrary.
