Supplemental signing includes ramp signing or other lawful signing.(g) No business sign may be erected or maintained on an exit ramp sign without a corresponding business sign on the specific information sign along the main roadway. A business sign may be erected and maintained on a specific information sign along the main roadway without a corresponding business sign on an exit ramp sign unless deemed necessary by the department to guide traffic to the motorist service.(h) No business sign may be erected or maintained on a freeway for a business that is reached by any other freeway. No business sign may be erected or maintained on an expressway for a business that is reached by any other expressway or by any freeway. No business sign may be erected or maintained on a conventional highway for a business that is reached by any other conventional state trunk highway or by any expressway or freeway. The department may allow exceptions to the restrictions in this paragraph when it deems it necessary to provide motorists with service information.(i) No business sign may be erected or maintained at a location where there is an intersection or interchange on the same highway between the sign location and the intersection or interchange at which the business to which the sign applies is located. This paragraph does not apply to double-exit interchanges.(j) No business sign may be erected or maintained at less than normal spacing in order to accommodate the sign between 2 successive intersections or interchanges. This paragraph does not apply to double-exit interchanges.(k) When there are more business signs requested than the number that may be permitted, the businesses with existing permitted signs shall have priority; then the businesses that are nearest the through federal-aid primary or secondary highway shall have next priority. At double-exit interchanges, the distance shall be measured separately for each pair of double exits, and the shorter distance shall determine priority.(L) Any business sign for a motorist service operated on a seasonal basis shall be removed or covered during off seasons.(m) No business sign, brand, symbol, trademark or any other message may be erected or maintained that resembles any official traffic control device or railroad sign or signal.(n) No business sign may be erected or maintained that does not meet the department's specifications.(o) No business sign may be erected or maintained that has an objectionable appearance as determined by the department due to vandalism, fading, deterioration or other causes.(p) No business sign may be erected or maintained for a motorist service that does not fulfill the service requirements of s. 86.195(3), Stats.(q) No business sign may be erected or maintained by any applicant for the sign.(r) No business sign may be erected or maintained that fails to conform with s. 86.19, 86.191, 86.195 or 346.41, Stats., or rules interpreting and implementing these statutes, as determined by the department.(s) No business sign may be erected or maintained that fails to conform with Wisconsin statutes or federal statutes.(t) No business sign may be erected or maintained in violation of an order of the department or any court of competent jurisdiction.(u) No business sign may be erected or maintained for any business that fails to conform with all applicable laws concerning the provisions of public accommodations without regard to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation or national origin.(v) Sign removal shall not be stayed by filing any appeal of the department's decision or order to remove a sign.(w) Sign removal shall not affect a sign requestor's liability for any unpaid fees, interest and costs of collection as determined by the department.(2) SERVICES PERMITTED. The motorist services for which the department may authorize the erection and maintenance of business signs on specific information signs within a highway are limited to "GAS," "FOOD," "LODGING," "CAMPING" or "ATTRACTION" in accordance with s. 86.195(3), Stats. Note: The 36 highway segments currently (2005-06) designated as eligible for these signs are shown on the map in ch. Trans 200 Appendix A.
(2g) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR "ATTRACTION" ELIGIBILITY. To qualify for display on a specific information sign as an "ATTRACTION," a business shall meet the following criteria:(a) Have the primary purpose of providing amusement, historical, cultural or leisure activities to the public.(b) Be of regional significance.(c) Provide adequate parking to accommodate normal traffic volumes for the facility.(d) Not be identified on any supplemental signing under sub. (1) (f) or guidance sign on the same route as the specific information sign.(e) Be located within 3 miles of the interchange and have adequate signage to direct motorists to their location after exiting the highway. If no business, facility, or activity in the category of "ATTRACTION" is available or chooses to participate in the specific information sign program within the 3-mile limit, the limit may be extended to a maximum distance of not more than 5 miles from the highway, unless the distance limit for the category of "ATTRACTION" is increased by a statutory enactment of the Wisconsin Legislature that is consistent with federal law.(f) Comply with laws concerning the provisions of public accommodations without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, or national origin, and laws concerning the licensing and approval of service facilities.(g) Have adequate supplemental signage under sub. (1) (f) to direct motorists to their location after exiting the highway. Note: The 3 to 5-mile distance to services limitation in par. (2g) (e) is required by s. 86.195(5) (a), Stats. (2005-06). The public accommodations requirement in par. (2g) (f) is required by Section 2F.01 of the 2003 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (Rev. 1 included) that reads: "Eligible service facilities shall comply with laws concerning the provisions of public accommodations without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, or national origin, and laws concerning the licensing and approval of service facilities."
(2r) ADVISORY COUNCIL. The advisory council appointed by the department under ss. 15.04(1) (c) and 15.09, Stats., for the tourist-oriented directional sign program under s. Trans 200.08(3) shall also serve as the advisory council to review applications for the display of business signs on specific information signs in the "ATTRACTION" category. The department shall make the final decision on applications. The department may act on any application not acted upon by the advisory council within 60 days of forwarding of the application to the council. Members of the advisory council will not be compensated for their services or reimbursed for their expenses, except the department may reimburse private citizen members in hardship cases for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. (a)Amusement, historical, cultural or leisure activities. In making its recommendations regarding whether an applicant's business qualifies as an "ATTRACTION," the advisory council may consider the following non-exclusive list of business facilities that presumptively provide amusement, historical, cultural or leisure activities to the public:1. Agri-tourism businesses such as breweries, gardens, cheese factories, vineyards, and wineries.2. Aquariums, wildlife facilities, wildlife preserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and zoo facilities.3. Cultural, historic or scientific sites, galleries, halls of fame, museums, and performing arts facilities.4. Nature or scenic areas such as beaches, gorges, nature facilities, nature preserves, nature sanctuaries, observation points, observation towers, parks, scenic areas, trails, lakes, waterfalls, waterways, and bluffs.5. Recreation facilities such as amusement parks, casinos, racetracks, speedways, and theme parks.6. Religious sites or shrines. Religious sites or shrines, typically not including cathedrals, churches, chapels, synagogues, temples, or mosques, and only when the site or shrine is readily recognized regionally.7. Scenic rides or sightseeing tours such as balloon, boat, helicopter, lift, airplane, train, and trolley rides are more likely to qualify in more rural less densely populated areas or where there is a large selection of such activities in one place.8. Sport arenas, sport facilities or sport stadiums.9. Shopping mall, or downtown/business area only if it has a readily regionally recognized and dominant attraction and regionally well-known identifying logo for the mall or downtown/business area and is not better identified by alternative directional signing.(b)Primary purpose. In making its recommendations regarding whether an applicant's business qualifies as an "ATTRACTION," the advisory council may consider the following factors to determine whether a business facility has the primary purpose of providing one or more of the above qualifying activities to the public:1. Percent of business and land area devoted to the eligible activity.2. Percent of business gross and net revenue derived from the eligible activity.3. Focus of any business advertising primarily for the eligible activity.4. Percent of annual attendance attributable to the eligible activity.(c)Regional significance. In making its recommendations regarding whether an applicant's business qualifies as an "ATTRACTION," the advisory council may recognize or consider the following in determining whether a business facility has regional significance:1. Regional significance generally is demonstrated by a market presence or significant public awareness of the attraction beyond the local community. While the concept of regional significance is consistent around the state, the significance of a given attraction should be considered relative to other attractions in the area. Areas of the state that are more heavily tourism oriented and those areas that are more rural and less densely populated may result in different determinations of regional significance.2. Regionally significant attractions are more likely to be pre-planned ultimate destinations than convenience stops.3. Annual attendance, typically over 5,000 at minimum, size of geographic market, percent of customers or visitors from beyond 50-mile radius, existence and size of a regional advertising budget, the number of parking spaces, accommodations to handle large groups such as transit or tour bus facilities, the number of seats in performing arts facilities, the percentage of out-of-state plates, the number of hours and days of continuous operations, the availability and number or tours, and the expected contribution to the success of regional tourism may also be considered indicators of regional significance.(d)Changeable electronic signs. Due to spacing requirements, geographic and other limitations on the number of "ATTRACTION" category sign opportunities that may be available, the department may allow changeable electronic sign technology for the specific information sign program to the extent permitted by federal laws and regulations, and subject to the ability to meet contractual and cost provisions acceptable to the department. Changeable electronic signs may serve to make the limited number of spaces available to more "ATTRACTIONS" and other permitted categories.(e)Permissive alternative recommendations when appropriate. If the advisory council recommends against allowing an "ATTRACTION" category sign to an applicant, the council may recommend:1. Alternative signing under the tourist-oriented directional sign program under s. 86.196, Stats., and s. Trans 200.08 when appropriate on any highway, other than those designated by the state for the specific information sign program.2. Alternative directional or destination guide signs authorized by the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices 2003 Edition, Revision 1, including Sections 2H.08 and 2H.09 and some parts of Sections 2D and 2E as adopted by the department pursuant to s. 84.02(4) (e), Stats., when appropriate, with further explanations and guidance provided in the department's traffic guidelines manual. Section Trans 200.03 is an additional source of direction for guidance signing. Note: Chapter Trans 200 Appendix B is an illustration of a Specific Information Sign and associated business sign. Chapter Trans 200 Appendix C is an illustration of a Tourist-Oriented Directional Sign. Chapter Trans 200 Appendix D is an illustration of other directional or guidance signs generally known as Traffic Generator Signs.
(3) APPLICATION AND PERMIT RENEWAL PROCEDURE.(a)1. The department shall provide forms for business sign applications at region offices. Completed applications shall be submitted to the region office for the region where the sign is to be located. Each applicant shall provide all information required on the department's application form. If the application for the sign is denied, the application fee shall be returned.2. In lieu of or in addition to the form and procedure in subd. 1., the department may enter into a contract that specifies alternative application forms with a private contractor.(c) Each applicant shall indicate on its application whether its business is seasonal and the closing and opening dates of the business if seasonal. The applicant shall give assurance to the department that it will provide prior notification to the region office of the region in which the sign is to be located of any change in seasonal dates.(e) Each applicant shall state on its application that it shall furnish the department's contractor the brand, symbol or trademark or business sign meeting the department's specifications for the business sign.(f) If an application is approved and a permit issued, an annual permit renewal fee shall be required for administrative costs and routine inspection. Annual renewal of the permit shall be subject to review and approval or denial by the department. If there are more business signs requested than the number that may be permitted, the permit shall be denied or not renewed in favor of existing permitted signs and then any eligible applicant providing a motorist service that is nearer the through federal-aid primary or secondary highway. If motorist services are at equal distance from the through federal-aid primary or secondary highway upon which the sign is to be placed, then the earliest received application shall have priority.(g) Applications for permits may be submitted to the department within periods announced and publicized by the department. Applications received during announced periods may be considered project groups.(h) The business for which a business sign is requested shall be the applicant and the permit shall be issued to the business.(i) In lieu of the application and permit renewal procedure stated in pars. (a) to (h), the department may enter into a contract that specifies alternative application and permit renewal procedures with a private contractor.(4) FEES. The applicant requesting the erection of a business sign shall pay to the department an application fee of $40 for administrative costs and the cost of routine sign inspection. A separate application and $40 fee is required for each business sign requested. A business sign along the main roadway and its corresponding sign on an exit ramp sign under sub. (7) (a) 4. shall be considered 2 business signs. The applicant granted a permit shall pay the department an annual permit renewal fee of $40 for each business sign and $40 for each corresponding business sign on an exit ramp sign, if any, before the anniversary date of the erection of the business sign each year following erection of the sign. If the department does not receive payment of the annual renewal fee by the anniversary date, the department shall not renew the permit.(5) CONTRACTS. (a) The department shall prepare plans and specifications for the manufacture, erection and maintenance of signs. The department's specifications shall require all sign panel supports to be of a breakaway design. The department may elect to undertake the manufacture and erection of signs by erection contract or by maintenance contract. The department may also elect to undertake the manufacture of specific information signs by separate contract from the maintenance or erection contracts, and contracts may be of any statewide, regional, district or local scope deemed reasonable and cost effective by the department. All erection and maintenance work shall be done under contracts administered by the department. No work may be done by any applicant. The applicant shall furnish the department's contractor the applicant's brand, symbol, trademark or name, or combination of these, or the business sign meeting the department's specifications as the business sign. All materials furnished as business signs by an applicant or by the department's contractor shall become and remain the property of the department once erected within any public highway, or as otherwise specified in the department's contract with its contractor. Failure to deliver the business sign within the specified period, to provide necessary supplemental signs, or to conform the sign to the department's specification may result in the forfeiture of the $40 fee and another business may be given the opportunity to qualify for the vacated space.(b) Sign maintenance contracts shall include provisions for installation of additional business signs on existing specific information signs; replacement of damaged, defective or obsolete signs; removal of signs; and covering and uncovering or removing and replacing signs for seasonal services.(c) Maintenance contracts may contain provisions for a negotiated price for unanticipated erection of specific information signs, including supports.(d) In lieu of or in addition to the contracting procedures stated in pars. (a) to (c), the department may enter into a contract that specifies alternative manufacture, erection, maintenance, marketing and implementation methods with a private contractor.(6) SIGNING CRITERIA. (a)Distance to motorist service. The distance from a highway to a business shall be measured from the nearest edge of the main travelled roadway of the highway at an intersection or from the gore between the main travelled roadway and the exit ramp at an interchange to the centerline extended of the closest driveway to the business on the crossroad. At a double-exit interchange, the distance shall be measured for each pair of double exits and the shorter distance shall govern.(b)Lateral location. The location for specific information signs shall be determined by the department to preserve highway safety, to take advantage of natural terrain, to have the least impact on the scenic environment, to minimize conflict with scenic easements, and to avoid visual conflict with other signs within the highway or with signs authorized or permitted under s. 84.30, Stats.(c)SIS grandfather provision.

The department shall provide for restoration of the sign, or refund, if the removal results from an error of the department or the department's contractor in locating the sign.(12)(a)Priority. The department will establish an initial application period for "ATTRACTION" category signs ending the first day of the second month commencing after the effective date of this chapter. If, after review by the advisory committee, there are more eligible applicants than spaces available at any one location, priority will be given to those eligible "ATTRACTIONS" recommended by the advisory committee and closest to the intersection or exit. When there is any eligible attraction within the first 3 miles from the intersection or exit that has applied, no applicants outside the 3-mile distance may be approved. Remaining applications will be retained for consideration when space becomes available for attractions at that location. Following the initial application period when opportunities arise to replace or add an attraction to a specific information sign, the applications on file for that sign location will be referred to the advisory council for review of current eligibility. The advisory council report will be used by the department in determining which applicant will be approved. The department will select the eligible attraction closest to the intersection or exit. When 2 or more eligible attractions exist at the same distance from the intersection or interchange, the date the application was received may be used as a tiebreaker. After the sign has been erected, attractions cannot be removed from a sign based on distance alone.(b)Distance. If the attraction is greater than 3 miles but less than the 5-mile limit from the highway interchange, the ramp sign shall include the number of miles to that location as part of the business logo. The ramp sign shall also include the number of miles to the location if the distance limit for the category of "ATTRACTION" is increased by a statutory enactment of the Wisconsin Legislature that is consistent with federal law.(c)Seasonal attractions. If the attraction is seasonal, the attraction business sign will be removed or covered with a closed plaque during the off-season. If a waiting list exists, the department may offer the spot temporarily, but the seasonal business will go back on the sign during the next "open" season.Wis. Admin.
