Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to administer a program for the placement of tourist-oriented destination signs for businesses, attractions, or facilities near state highways in nonurbanized areas. Existing law specifies various requirements for placement of these signs, including a requirement that the maximum distance from a highway intersection to an attraction or facility may not exceed 10 miles, except as provided.
This bill would exempt signs on state highways in the County of Tehama from this requirement. The bill would also express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would authorize the County of Tehama to place wayfinding signage on state highways.
This bill would make legislative findings and
declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Tehama.
