INTERSECTING HIGHWAYS IS 1,000 FEET OR MORE, THE MINIMUM
SPACING BETWEEN SIGN STRUCTURES, WHETHER DOUBLE-FACED,
BACK-TO-BACK, OR V-TYPE, SHALL BE 300 FEET.
(E) RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.
(1) FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBSECTION, THE
FOLLOWING RULES APPLY.
(2) ALLEYS, UNDEVELOPED RIGHTS-OF-WAY,
PRIVATE ROADS, AND DRIVEWAYS MAY NOT BE REGARDED AS
INTERSECTING HIGHWAYS.
(3) ONLY HIGHWAYS THAT ENTER DIRECTLY INTO
THE MAIN TRAVELED WAY OF THE FEDERAL-AID PRIMARY HIGHWAY
MAY BE REGARDED AS INTERSECTING.
(4) OFFICIAL AND "ON-PREMISE" SIGNS, AS
DEFINED IN TITLE 23, §131(C) OF THE UNITED STATES CODE,
MAY NOT BE COUNTED, AND MEASUREMENTS MAY NOT BE MADE
FROM THEM FOR PURPOSES OF DETERMINING COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SPACING REQUIREMENTS.
(5) THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN SIGNS SHALL
BE MEASURED ALONG THE NEAREST EDGE OF THE PAVEMENT
BETWEEN POINTS DIRECTLY OPPOSITE THE SIGNS.
(b) THE MINIMUM SPACING CRITERIA SPECIFIED IN
THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY TO SIGN STRUCTURES SEPARATED
BY A BUILDING OR OTHER OBSTRUCTION SO THAT ONLY ONE SIGN
STRUCTURE IS VISIBLE FROM ANY ONE PLACE ON THE MAIN
TRAVELED WAY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is
new language derived from Art. 89B, §251(k).
It is placed here since this is the only
section of this subtitle in which the defined
term appears. Item (2) of the definition is
revised to apply to any divided highway, not
merely an interstate or other "limited access"
highway; this conforms to the apparent intent
of the definition, as applicable to this
section.
Subsection (b) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from Art.
89B, §252(c)(2).
8-733. LIGHTING OF SIGNS.
(A) GENERAL RULE.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, AN OUTDOOR SIGN
ALONG OR NEAR A FEDERAL-AID PRIMARY HIGHWAY MAY BE
LIGHTED, BUT IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS SPECIFIED IN
THIS SECTION.
