SB 5005: Highway information signs

Allowing signing of safer routes to tourist-oriented businesses.

Summary

  • $ Current law prohibits the Washington State Department of Transportation to sign alternate routes to roadway services that may be safer, but exceed the limit of being greater than 15 miles off of the highway.
  • $ The Department of Transportation is allowed to erect and maintain signs on an alternate route that exceeds the 15-mile limit if it is safer and still provides reasonable and convenient access to an eligible roadway service.
