18.6.231    SIGN SPACING

(1) Alleys, undeveloped rights-of-way, private roads and driveways shall not be regarded as intersecting streets, roads or highways.

(2) Only roads, streets and highways which enter directly into the main-traveled way of the primary highway shall be regarded as intersecting.

(3) Official and "on-premise" signs shall not be counted nor shall measurements be made from them for purposes of determining compliance with the above spacing requirements.

(4) The minimum distance between signs shall be measured along the nearest edge of the pavement between points directly opposite the signs.

(5) Multi-faced, back-to-back, and v-type signs shall be considered as a single sign or structure.

(a) Multi-faced signs may be positioned side-by-side on a single structure or stacked vertically on a single structure, and are to be considered as one sign for spacing and permitting purposes.

(b) Side-by-side signs on individual structures are considered as two signs for both spacing and permit requirements.

(c) V-type sign means two signs erected independently of each other with multiple display surfaces having single or multiple messages visible to traffic from opposite directions, with an interior angle between the two signs of not more than 120 degrees and the signs separated by not more than 10 feet at the nearest point.
