NAC410.430. Directional and informational signs.

     1. An authorized directional or informational sign, as authorized by NRS 410.400, may not be erected without first obtaining a sign permit from the Department. No fee will be charged for the permit which is revocable.

     2. Revocable sign permits must be obtained from the Department for authorized directional and informational signs allowed upon highway rights-of-way. Applications are available at the district offices of the Department. The holder of the permit shall maintain the sign and ensure that no unauthorized panels are placed on the sign.

     3. Authorized directional and informational signs may be located within the right-of-way of noncontrolled access highways. However, such sign structures must be constructed outside the clear roadside area and must meet accepted breakaway requirements. If any installations within the right-of-way are subsequently deemed a safety hazard, they must be removed or relocated within 30 days after receipt of a notice to that effect. All determinations for allowing the erection of or requiring the removal or relocation of such signs are at the discretion of the Director.

     4. The district traffic engineer shall establish standards for directional and information signs to be located within a highway right-of-way. Such signs must be erected by the Department. The holder of the permit shall pay the cost of erecting such a sign.
