Part 1: STATE HIGHWAY LAW

§1912-B. Logo signs on the interstate highway system

Pursuant to rules adopted under this section, the commissioner may authorize the placement of logo signs within the right-of-way of the interstate system. A logo sign may not be larger than existing service information signs permitted on the interstate highway. Logo signs may be installed only on portions of the interstate highway that are rural in character or on certain connector highways where it is necessary to establish continuity for logo signs erected on the Maine Turnpike. A logo sign may include only logos for gas, food, lodging, camping and attractions. Applications from at least 3 qualified businesses must be approved before installation of a logo sign panel at an exit. Logos for 2 or more types of service may be displayed on the same sign panel. More than one logo sign panel may be installed at an exit only when 3 or more qualified businesses are available for each of 2 or more types of service. The number of logo sign panels at an exit may not exceed one for each type of service or a total of 5 for all types of services. Rules adopted under this section must regulate the size, shape, manner and location of logo signs and must describe the procedure for applying to the department for permission to erect a logo sign and the criteria used by the department to select among applicants. The commissioner shall establish fees for the production and placement of a logo sign and annual fees to cover the maintenance costs. [2005, c. 482, §2 (AMD).]

The commissioner shall adopt rules to implement this section. Those rules may not be adopted until March 15, 1996. The commissioner shall report to the Joint Standing Committee on Transportation in January 1996 on the development of those rules. [2011, c. 344, §30 (AMD).]
