Section 16:41E-6.5 - Trailblazer signs

(a) A trailblazer sign is required along crossroads where the route to the business requires a direction change or where the Department determines that guidance is needed for any reason. If a trailblazer sign is required but cannot be installed, the Department will not erect a logo sign. A private sign shall not be a substitute for a trailblazer sign.

(b) Up to three trailblazer signs shall be included in the initial installation fee.

(c) A trailblazer sign shall not be required at the point where the facility is visible from the roadway, if the Department determines that the route to the facility is clear and readily apparent. A trailblazer sign may be required at such point, if the Department determines that a trailblazer would aid the safe or convenient movement of traffic.

(d) Where a trailblazer sign is required and would be erected in a right-of-way that is not under the jurisdiction of the Department, the trailblazer sign shall not be erected unless the entity having jurisdiction authorizes the Department to erect the trailblazer sign without payment of any fee.

(e) Where both logo trailblazer signs and TODS signs will be used at the same intersection, the design and placement shall conform to the TODS Program requirements, and the needed logo sign information shall be incorporated with the TODS sign. TODS and Logo facilities shall be accommodated on the TODS sign structure(s) on a first-come, first-served basis to the extent that there is space available.

(f) Where the Department or another governmental entity has already provided the facility with a guide sign along any crossroad where a trailblazer sign is required, the Department may elect to replace that guide sign with a trailblazer sign in order to provide a uniform path of signage to the facility.

(g) If conditions do not allow for construction of sufficient TODS structures to accommodate all Logo trailblazer signs, signage may be provided as the Department determines.
