In accordance with Title 23, United States Code and in accordance with R.S. 48:461.20 (1975 Supp.), those signs lawfully erected and maintained prior to October 22, 1965, which are determined by the Louisiana Department of Highways, subject to the approval of the United States Secretary of Transportation to be landmark signs, and which would otherwise be subject to removal shall be allowed to remain. Such include signs, displays, and devices on form structures or natural surfaces which are of historic or artistic significance, the preservation of which is consistent with the Louisiana and Federal Highway Beautification Acts.

Such signs may have reasonable maintenance, repair and restoration; however, a substantial change in size, lighting, or message content will terminate the exempt or permitted status of such sign.
