  No permit shall be issued for the erection, use, or maintenance of any advertising device which is or would be:   At a point where it would encroach upon the right-of-way of a public highway without written approval of the department;    Along the highway within five hundred feet of the center point of an intersection of such highway at grade with another highway or with a railroad in such manner as materially to obstruct or reduce the existing view of traffic on the other highway or railroad trains approaching the intersection and within five hundred feet of such center point;    Along a highway at any point where it would reduce the existing view of traffic in either direction or of traffic control or official highway signs to less than five hundred feet;    Designed, used, or intended to be designed or used to include more than two advertising panels on an advertising device facing in the same direction.       On or after July 1, 1981, no permit shall be issued for any advertising device which required a permit under state law prior to July 1, 1981, and for which no permit was obtained.    No permit shall be issued for any advertising device which simulates any official, directional, or warning sign erected or maintained by the United States, this state, or any county or municipality or which involves light simulating or resembling traffic signals or traffic control signs.    No permit shall be issued for any advertising device nailed, tacked, posted, or attached in any manner on trees, perennial plants, rocks, or other natural objects or on fences or fence posts or poles maintained by public utilities.    No permit shall be issued nor any renewal issued for any advertising device which becomes decayed, insecure, or in danger of falling or otherwise is unsafe or unsightly by reason of lack of maintenance or repair, or from any other cause.    No permit shall be issued for any advertising device which does not conform to size, lighting, and spacing standards as prescribed by rules and regulations adopted by the department, where such rules and regulations were adopted prior to the erection of said device.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 43 - Transportation|Article 1 - General and Administrative|Part 4 - Roadside Advertising|§ 43-1-413. Nonconforming Advertising Devices

  A nonconforming advertising device may be continued to be maintained at the same location at which the nonconforming advertising device was lawfully erected.    The right to maintain any nonconforming advertising device shall be terminated by:   Abandonment of the nonconforming advertising device;    Increase of any dimension of the nonconforming advertising device;    Change of any aspect of or in the character of the nonconforming device;    Failure to comply with the provisions of this part 4, concerning permits for the maintenance of advertising devices;    Damage to or destruction of the nonconforming advertising device from any cause whatsoever, except willful destruction, where the cost of repairing the damage or destruction exceeds fifty percent of the cost of such device on the date of damage or destruction, as determined by the department-approved schedule of compensation;    Obsolescence of the nonconforming advertising device where the cost of repairing the device exceeds fifty percent of the replacement cost of such device on the date that the department determines said device is obsolete.       Reasonable and customary repair and maintenance of the device, including a change of advertising message or design, is not a change that would violate subsection (2) of this section. However, such message or design change shall not be compensable under section 43-1-414.    If the right to maintain any nonconforming advertising device is terminated under this section, the advertising device shall become illegal and shall be removed pursuant to section 43-1-412.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 43 - Transportation|Article 1 - General and Administrative|Part 4 - Roadside Advertising|§ 43-1-415. Administration and Enforcement - Authority for Agreements - Rules

  The department shall administer and enforce the provisions of this part 4 and shall promulgate and enforce rules and standards necessary to carry out the provisions of this part 4 including, but not limited to:   Rules necessary to qualify the state for payments made available by congress to those states that meet federal standards of roadside advertising control;    Rules relating to the maintenance of nonconforming advertising devices;    Rules to control the erection and maintenance on all state highways of advertising devices located in areas zoned for industrial or commercial uses;    Rules governing the removal and acquisition of nonconforming advertising devices;    Rules necessary to permit the exemption of tourist-related advertising devices by the secretary of transportation under 23 U.S.C. sec. 131 (o);    Rules governing specific information signs under section 43-1-420.       Nothing in this part 4 shall be construed to permit advertising devices to be erected or maintained which would disqualify the state for payments made available to those states which meet federal standards of roadside advertising control.    The department may enter into agreements with the secretary of transportation of the United States to carry out the national policy concerning outdoor advertising adjacent to the interstate system and federal-aid primary highways and to accept any allotment of funds by the United States, or any department or agency thereof, appropriated in furtherance of federal-aid highway legislation.    The rules of the department must not impose any additional requirements or more strict requirements than those imposed by this part 4.     History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 43 - Transportation|Article 1 - General and Administrative|Part 4 - Roadside Advertising|§ 43-1-416. Local Control of Outdoor Advertising Devices

 Nothing in this part 4 shall be construed to prevent use of zoning powers and establishment of stricter limitations or controls on advertising devices by any municipality or county within its boundaries so long as such limitations or controls do not jeopardize the receipt by the state of its full share of federal highway funds.   History. Source: L. 81: Entire part R&RE, p. 2017, § 1, effective July 1.    Editor's note:   This section is similar to former § 43-1-405 as it existed prior to 1981.   ANNOTATION   City sign code preempted by this section. City ordinance which required the removal of signs after a period of amortization, but which did not provide for the payment of compensation, jeopardized the state's receipt of its share of federal highway funds and was thus preempted by this section. Fort Collins v. Root Outdoor Advertising, 788 P.2d 149 (Colo. 1990).   Payment of just compensation for the removal of signs is required to preserve the state's federal funding; amortization is not the equivalent of “just compensation”. Removal of signs must be accomplished through eminent domain proceedings. Fort Collins v. Root Outdoor Advertising, 788 P.2d 149 (Colo. 1990).   A city may use municipal funds to compensate an owner for the removal of signs prior to the availability of the federal share of such compensation. Fort Collins v. Root Outdoor Advertising, 788 P.2d 149 (Colo. 1990).

2021 Colorado Code|Title 43 - Transportation|Article 1 - General and Administrative|Part 4 - Roadside Advertising|§ 43-1-417. Violation and Penalty

  The erection of any advertising device without a permit from the department where one is required by this part 4, or the use or maintenance of any advertising device in violation of any provision of this part 4 is declared to be illegal. In addition to other remedies provided by law, including the department's ability to seek a court order enjoining violations, the department is authorized to institute an appropriate action or proceeding to prevent or remove such violation in any district court of competent jurisdiction. The removal of any advertising device unlawfully erected, used, or maintained shall be at the expense of the person who erects and maintains such a device.    Any person who violates any provision of this part 4, upon being found liable thereof, shall be subject to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars for each violation, as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each day of violation of a provision of this part 4 shall constitute a separate violation. The department shall enforce the provisions of this part 4 through a civil action.    Only the department, or a person with the written approval of the department, may erect or maintain any advertising device located either wholly or partly within the right-of-way of any state highway that is a part of the state highway system, including streets within cities, cities and counties, and incorporated towns. All advertising devices so located without approval by the department are public nuisances, and any law enforcement officer or peace officer in the state of Colorado or employee of the department is authorized and directed to remove these devices without notice.
