MN HF2208

Establishes a community destination sign program administered by the commissioner of transportation to provide wayfinding signs to attractions and destinations of interest to the traveling public.

Defines eligible destinations as minor traffic generators and general retail services (personal services, repair services, hardware stores, lumber/building supply stores, and automotive parts sellers) identified in a city-approved wayfinding program.

Requires the commissioner to establish program requirements including application procedures, sign placement and design specifications, and sign construction standards, which may be included in the uniform manual under section 169.06.

Allows community destination sign designs to display a city name and logo, attraction or destination logos, and up to five attractions or destinations per sign assembly.

Exempts community destination signs from the definition of "advertising device" under Minnesota Statutes section 173.02, and requires the commissioner to amend the Traffic Engineering Manual by December 1, 2014 to implement the program.
