Spacing

Outdoor advertising signs are governed by restrictions set forth in Federal/State agreements and/or codified in state statutes or administrative regulations adopted by each state. The spacing requirements included in Federal/State Agreements vary between the states. A majority of the agreements require at least 500 foot spacing on the interstate, 300 feet outside cities, and 100 feet inside cities. Furthermore, spacing requirements can vary according to road classification. Accordingly, it is important to review each state’s statutes and regulations to determine the applicable sign spacing requirements.
