by any flashing, intermittent, or moving light or lights
are prohibited, except those giving public service

similar information.

(ii) Signs which are not effectively shielded as to
prevent beams or rays of light from being directed at any
portion of the traveled ways of the federal—aid primary
highway and which are of such intensity or brilliance as
to cause glare or to impair the vision of the driver of
any motor vehicle, or which otherwise interfere with any
driver's operation of a motor vehicle are prohibited.

(iii) No sign shall be so illuminated that it
interferes with the effectiveness of, or obscures an
official traffic sign, device, or signal.

(iv) All such lighting shall be subject to any other
provisions relating to lighting of signs presently
applicable to all highways under the jurisdiction of the

State.

in area, has no more than one sign facing in one
direction and is limited to not more than two (2) signs
per shelter. All outdoor advertising on school bus
shelters shall be subject to applicable local zoning
regulations and standards promulgated by the State which
are consistent with the code of federal regulations
regarding national standards for outdoor advertising on
interstate and federally aided primary systems of
highways.
