Preface

(1) Specific service signs (hereafter referred to as logo signs) provide the traveling public with business identification and directional information for essential motorist services. Logo signs will be permitted at interchanges on freeways that are located outside of the census boundary of cities of 100,000 or greater population as designated by the United States Bureau of Census in the most recent decennial federal census. In addition, logo signs will be permitted on freeways within the urbanized area boundary of cities of 100,000 or greater population as designated by the United States Bureau of Census in the most recent decennial federal census, upon written request by the local government, provided all the criteria are met as described in these rules. (2) The following rules set forth the criteria to be followed in the administration of the Logo Sign Program. If questions arise in the interpretation of these rules, the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Transportation, or the Commissioner’s designee, will make the final administrative determination. These rules supersede all prior rules related to gas, food, lodging, and camping or attraction service signs.
