Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 184-4-3 - Placement and Design3.1. Selection of the site for a sign, kiosk or monument will be the sole responsibility of the Parkways Authority. Ideally, these markers should be located in an area where they are readily visible to patrons; however, they will not be placed in an area where motorists would have to pull over for viewing as this could be dangerous and obstructive. Placing these signs in an area where traffic is flowing could create a visual distraction for drivers. Recognition of the signs should not distract the driver and should be simple and devoid of flashing or moving features.3.2. The Parkways Authority reserves the right to reject any and all requests if they do not meet the criteria set forth above. The sponsoring organization must submit their design, types of materials to be used, size, color schemes, and other details for approval by the Authority. No revisions can be made to the approved plans without written approval by the Authority. No parties shall be allowed to enter the travel plazas, rest areas, welcome center or other properties to construct, rehabilitate or remove the signs, kiosks or monuments without the express written permission of the Parkways Authority obtained in advance. The Parkways Authority reserves the right to remove and/or relocate any sign, kiosk or monument if the property is needed for any purpose or its presence is a hindrance to construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, or any other Parkways purpose. The sponsoring organization will be notified in the event the sign, kiosk or monument has to be removed and/or relocated. Otherwise, there is no set limit of time that the sign, kiosk or monument may remain at the travel plaza, rest area or welcome center once permission has been granted to allow it to be placed. No more than two (2) requests per year may be approved for each of the locations previously identified in the Introduction.3.3. The Parkways Authority will not provide the funds, the labor or the materials for the construction of any sign, kiosk or monument. Cost of fabrication and placement will be the sole responsibility of the organization making the request to the Authority. Additionally, continued maintenance or replacement of the signs, kiosks or monuments will be the responsibility of the requesting party and they must be kept in good condition. The organization making the request shall be responsible for providing a periodic maintenance inspection plan. The Authority's Maintenance Department will monitor the condition of the sign, kiosk or monument and notify the sponsoring organization of any concerns regarding condition and required maintenance.
