Section 2630 - Recognition Panels(a) Types of recognition panels:(1) Standard recognition panel: Caltrans provides a standard recognition panel at no cost to the adopter. A standard recognition panel displays the adopter's name in black lettering, using a standard highway font.(2) Standard recognition panel with logo: The logo of an organization or business can be added to a standard recognition panel. (A recognition panel for an individual may not display a logo.) The adopter must purchase the logo and then deliver it to Caltrans. The logo must have adhesive backing. There is no fee charged to place a logo onto a standard recognition panel.(3) Custom recognition panel: If all panel elements (text and/or logo) are purchased by the adopter, the panel is called a "custom" panel. Adhesive-backed elements can be delivered to Caltrans, or, a completed panel can be delivered. Caltrans supplies blank recognition panels at no cost to an adopter who chooses the latter option. There is no fee charged for placing supplied elements onto a recognition panel.(b) In all circumstances, the appearance and content of recognition panels is solely determined by Caltrans. All recognition panels must be compliant with the standards set forth in the Adopt-A-Highway Recognition Panel Design Guidelines (Rev. 10/2009) which is incorporated by reference. This document, which is posted on the Program Internet site, contains a complete listing of all panel design rules and describes limited exceptions to the following general policy:(1) Recognition panels shall display one of the following:(A) The name of the individual (or multiple individuals) listed on the Program Application.(B) The words, "In Memory of," plus the name of the individual or family in whose memory the adoption is being made as listed on the Program Application.(C) The name and/or logo of the organization, agency, or business listed on the Program Application.(2) Recognition panels shall not display: (A) Graphics or borders that are not part of a logo.(B) Wording or a logo that implies or is obscene or sexually explicit.(C) Adopter names or logos that violate the law or Caltrans' policy as defined in Section 2621(h).(D) Any form of advertising, including street, email, and Internet addresses, directions, telephone numbers, dates, slogans, products, or services. This includes words in a logo that are not part of the adopter's name.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 21, § 2630
