New Rules Coming to Roadway Business Signs

There are some new rules for those signs you see along state highways and interstates highlighting places to eat or get gas.  Brooks Glasnapp manages the advertising program for the Iowa Department of Transportation and says they’ve made some adjustments as part of a five-year review.   Businesses can put their logo on a larger sign that’s positioned near the exits on highways.

 

Glasnapp says they’ve established some minimum requirements for the businesses to be featured on the signs.

 

Glasnapp says they have some 12-hundred customers who buy logos, with each one averaging around three logos purchased.  One other new rule requires the logos to be made of a highly reflective material to make them easier to see.
