PURPOSE: This amendment removes unnecessary
				  restrictive language.
(1)
				Definitions (see
				7 CSR 10-6.015
				).
(2) Removal of Unlawful Signs.
				The department's authorized representative shall serve a notice to remove
				outdoor advertising under section
				226.580,
				RSMo, and for conforming out of standard signs that have been substantially
				rebuilt pursuant to section
				226.541,
				RSMo and
				7
				CSR 10-6.040(5).
(A) Signs erected after March 30, 1972,
				contrary to the provisions of sections 226.500-226.600, RSMo, that is all signs
				erected, relocated or reconstructed after March 30, 1972, in violation of the
				then effective sizing, lighting, spacing and location requirements of sections
				226.500- 226.600, RSMo. Relocation of any sign or repair of any deteriorated or
				damaged non-conforming sign for any reason, is a new erection as of the date
				the relocation or reconstruction is completed and these signs must then comply
				with the then effective sizing, lighting, spacing, location and permit
				requirements of sections 226.500-226.600, RSMo or they shall then be subject to
				removal without compensation by the commission under section 226.580.1(1),
				RSMo;

				is not obtained as prescribed in sections 226.500-226.600, RSMo (see

				are past due for a period of twelve (12) months or more (see section

(D) Signs
				which are obsolete, that is signs that for a continuous period of one (1) year
				or longer have advertised services or products no longer available to the
				traveling public because the services or products have been discontinued or
				cannot be obtained at the destination or by the directions indicated on the
				signs. A legal conforming sign shall not be considered obsolete solely because
				it does not carry an advertising message for a period of less than one (1)
				year;
(E) Signs that are not in
				good repair, that is signs with poles, frames, braces, panels or facings which
				are broken or damaged or not securely affixed to a substantial structure or
				which are faded, blistered, cracked, peeled, chipped, or torn to the extent the
				total message is not discernable by a motorist of normal visual acuity
				traveling at the maximum speed limit posted on the main traveled way of the
				adjacent interstate or primary highway. A motorist of normal visual acuity
				means any person licensed by Missouri to operate a motor vehicle upon the
				highways of this state;
(F) Signs
				which attempt or appear to attempt to regulate, warn or direct the movement of
				traffic or which interfere with, imitate or resemble any official traffic sign,
				signal or device. These signs include, but are not limited to, signs which
				display flashing amber or red lights, stop signs or yield signs or highway
				designation markers, such as an interstate shield;
(G) Signs which are erected or maintained
				upon trees or painted or drawn upon rocks or other natural features, except
				landmark signs under section
				226.545,
				RSMo;

				March 30, 1972 but on or after January 1, 1968 contrary to sections
