LOST

Senators Harp of the 29th, Weber of the 40th, Adelman of the 42nd and Moody of the 56th offered the following amendment:

Amend the substitute to SB 164 (LC 34 2140S) by replacing lines 112 through 118 with the following:

"(6) 'Viewing zone' means a trapezoidal area extending from the base of the sign at the point at which it is nearest to the right of way fence or boundary which shall not exceed:

(A) Two hundred seventy-five feet in width from the point of the base of the sign nearest the right of way boundary; and

(B) From a line perpendicular to the roadway passing through the point where the base of the sign is nearest the right of way fence or boundary, 500 feet along the roadway pavement.

To any extent such definition differs from the definition contained in subparagraph (a)(1)(C) of Code Section 32-6-75.3, this definition shall govern."
