MoDot is proposing a rule change that would affect signs – known at “traffic generators” that direct motors to local tourist attractions such as parks, caves and historical sites.
Under this new rule, local attractions would need one million visitors per year to qualify for a sign. The move would eliminate many of the signs found on Missouri highways that point motorists to local landmarks and would be harmful to the majority of tourist sites in Missouri.
Currently there are three categories of traffic generator signs for tourist-oriented signs and the proposed change would consolidate the three categories into only one.
This proposed rule in under a 30-day review until the deadline of January 15, 2015, and MoDOT is requesting public input. Comments can be e-mailed to MHTC@modot.mo.gov sent to:
