CDOT Outdoor Advertising Rules Finalized

The state of Colorado has taken the final rule making steps towards finalizing their Outdoor Advertising Rules. This has been a substantial effort for the state which will impact businesses advertising throughout the state, along state roads as well as addressing new state roads added to the highway system within Colorado. The States Attorney General’s office has issued its certificate and filed the rules for the State. This will result in the new rules taking effect February 14, 2015. Until that time the current Outdoor advertising rules will remain in effect.   The new rules will be available online after the effective date at the States website http://www.sos.state.co.us/ located under "Administrative Rules of State Agencies". The Colorado Department of Transportation has extended their thanks and recognition to all stakeholders in the development of the new rules and clarification of sign technology including state and local government staff, participating sign owners, sign manufacturers and industry associations including SGIA.
