Off-Interstate Logo Signs
Off-Interstate logo signs consist of a blue sign panel with individual business logo plaques mounted on the panel. Off-Interstate sign panels have legends, or titles, for 4 different types of services: Gas, Food, Lodging and Camping.
Off-Interstate logo signs may be installed along non-interstate, rural highways, but not in urban areas.
Naturally, the signs are not only valuable to the motorist, but also to the businesses featured on the signs. While businesses may look at highway signs as a form of advertising or promotion, the signs are in fact classified as official traffic control devices and are regulated by Federal and State laws.
Oregon is one of two States nationally that offer these smaller versions of freeway logo signs to businesses on primary and secondary highway routes. They began in 1979 through the lobbying of a campground in Lincoln City. With the help of ODOT, the Travel Information Council obtained Federal approval to begin this sign program.
