			 Engineer may also require follow-up signs necessary to enable the traveling
			 public to find the feature and for traffic safety.
(b) If the qualified cultural or historical
			 feature is visible from any part of the exit ramp, the Department will not
			 erect a follow-up sign unless the Engineer determines it to be necessary to

(3) The Engineer must consult with the Oregon
			 Historical Society, and may consult with county or city historical societies,
			 or any other entity that may have information regarding the historical value of
			 the feature. The Engineer will determine if an applicant has significant
			 historical value so as to qualify for a sign by considering the following:
(a) Whether the proposed historical feature
			 is currently known and recognized within the community and region;
(b) Whether the proposed historical feature
			 is readily accessible to visitors. This may include regular hours of operation
			 and public access to the proposed feature;
(c) The historical authenticity of the
			 feature. This may include such items as the interpretive story presented at the
			 feature, or the extent of historical renovation or preservation of the
			 feature;

			 the feature is easily located from the interchange and no additional signs
			 other than an authorized follow-up sign would be necessary to direct the
			 traveling public to the feature or that adequate signing will be provided on
			 the public road system to guide the traveling public to the feature.
(2) Upon request by an applicant, the
			 Engineer may authorize a waiver upon a showing by the applicant that the
			 granting of such waiver will benefit the traveling public and not violate the
			 overall intent of these regulations. The Engineer may grant waivers under OAR
			 734-062-0020(1) and (2); and 734-062-0030(1).

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1)
			 The Department shall prioritize applications for signs for qualified features
			 based on the date of receipt of a properly completed application.
(2) Only the following may apply for a sign
			 under these rules: the entity that submitted the successful application for
			 federal recognition as a viticultural area, a municipal or county government
			 within that viticultural area, a winery or vineyard within the viticultural
			 area, or a winery or vineyard association with membership in the viticultural
			 area.
(3) The applicant must use
			 the form specified by the Department, and complete an application for each
			 requested sign.
(4) The qualified
			 viticultural applicant or its designee must request annually that the sign
			 erected under these rules be renewed. The request must affirm that the
			 viticultural area continues to qualify under federal standards, and continues
			 to qualify for the sign under these rules. A renewed sign allows the sign to
			 remain for one year from the date of renewal, provided the feature remains
			 eligible as set forth in these rules.
(5) The Department may review a viticultural
			 feature for continued eligibility at any time.
(6) The Department may remove the sign or the
			 sign legend for the viticultural feature if the Department determines the sign
			 is no longer appropriate for that location or if the federal agency responsible
			 for viticultural areas:
(a) Removes the
			 designation; or
(b) Changes the
			 designation so that the sign is no longer geographically within the
			 viticultural area.
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 734 - DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, HIGHWAY DIVISION › Division 62 - SIGNS IDENTIFYING CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL FEATURES › Section 734-062-0120 - Signs for Qualified Viticultural Features

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) Location. A qualified viticultural
			 feature applicant may apply for a sign near the border entering the
			 viticultural area recognized by the federal Department of Treasury. Because a
			 viticultural feature is a large geographic area rather than a specific
			 destination, no follow-up signs are required or allowed.
(2) Number. The Department may approve a
			 maximum of two signs per highway for each qualified viticultural
			 feature.
(3) Sign Legend. Because a
			 viticultural feature is a large geographic area rather than a specific
			 destination, the sign legend on such a sign will indicate that motorists are
			 entering the viticultural area, but will not direct motorists to a particular
			 exit or location.
(4) A qualified
			 viticultural feature applicant must submit the following information to
			 demonstrate qualification for such a sign:
(a)
			 Documentation of recognition by the federal Department of Treasury of the
			 viticultural area;
(b) Map showing
			 the proposed sign location in relation to the boundaries of the viticultural
			 area;
(c) Documentation showing the
			 applicant has sent notice of the proposal to appropriate wine industry groups
			 for dissemination among their members in any adjacent or overlapping qualified
			 viticultural area, including any designated sub-section of a viticultural
			 area.

(1) No permit shall be
			 issued to relocate an outdoor advertising sign to be visible to any portion of
			 US 101, a designated scenic byway, unless it complies with federal scenic byway
			 laws, federal regulations or conditions of federal grants relating to scenic
			 byways.
(2) All signs maintained

			 ORS 377.700 to
			 377.840 and to all applicable

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) As provided in ORS
			 377.759, the owner of an active
			 outdoor advertising sign permit for a sign visible to a highway located along
			 the Oregon Scenic Byway system may apply to the Department of Transportation to
			 voluntarily remove a sign in exchange for an incentive described in statute.
			 This rule establishes the criteria for participation in the incentive program,
			 the procedure to apply, and the procedure the Department will follow to process
			 those applications.
(2)
			 Qualification for participation - Byway status and sign legality.
(a) The location of the sign must be within
			 the current Oregon Scenic Byway system as approved by the Oregon Transportation
			 Commission. The Scenic Byway system includes state Scenic Byways, national
			 Scenic Byways, All American Roads, and Oregon Tour Routes (hereafter "Byway
			 system" or "Byway"). If the location of the sign is within an area that is the
			 subject of a request to be de-designated or segmented from the Byway system,
			 the sign does not qualify.
(b) The
			 sign must be in compliance with all laws. A sign that is in violation of the
			 law does not qualify for the incentive. The Department need not have issued a
			 notice of violation prior to the application for participation for the
			 Department to deny the application on this basis. If the Department denies the
			 application in part or in full due to noncompliance with state sign laws, it
			 must issue a notice of violation at the same time as the denial so applicant
			 has a full opportunity to contest the decision.
(c) The sign must qualify for relocation
			 under ORS 377.700 to
			 377.840. If the sign does not
			 meet the criteria for relocation of the sign and permit, the sign does not
			 qualify for the incentive program.
(d) A sign that is nonconforming under state
			 law may qualify for the incentive program, depending on the reason for its
			 nonconforming status. A sign that is nonconforming for a reason that legally
			 would prevent its reconstruction in the same location does not qualify for the
			 incentive program.

(a) Is on the same parcel of land or another
			 parcel of land within the same market area with a similar Average Daily Traffic
			 count, or in a similar market area acceptable to the Department of
			 Transportation ("Department") and the OAS Owner, and
(b) Has the same or similar visibility within
			 500 feet of the original sign at the official milepoint of the intended highway
			 as determined by the Department.

(2) Not infrequently, a situation or
			 condition arises which makes it unsafe, impractical, or, at times, impossible
			 for an over-dimensional vehicle or load to travel over a given highway or
			 section thereof. Such situations or conditions are usually caused by highway
			 construction or repair projects or other local traffic conditions. The purpose
			 of this rule is to provide a means of coping with such situations.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
In order to determine whether or not a vehicle or combination
				of vehicles is approved to traverse a length-restricted highway, or section(s)
				thereof, the Department, upon request from an interested party, will conduct an
				evaluation of the proposed operation. The evaluation will include research of
				Department files to determine whether or not a previous test run for the
				proposed operation has been conducted. If Department records indicate that a
				previous test run has been conducted for the length of combination requested,
				and there have been no improvements to the highway since the previous test run,
				results of the previous test run will be used. If there have been no previous
				test runs for the proposed operation, the Department will coordinate with the
				requesting party and conduct a test run and evaluation as follows:
(1) The test run vehicle(s) will be provided
			 by the requesting party and be equal to or greater in length than the
			 vehicle(s) in the proposed operation.
(2) The Department will issue a single trip
			 variance permit for the test run vehicle(s).
(3) During the test run, Department staff
			 will precede and follow the test vehicle(s) to observe vehicle operability and
			 gather data used by the Department to determine if:
(a) The vehicle(s) maintained its lane of
			 travel;
(b) The vehicle's steering
			 axle crossed the center line and the rear axle crossed the fog line at the same
			 time. If so, how many times and at what locations; and
(c) The vehicle either maintained the
			 appropriate highway speed, or there was adequate sight distance for trailing
			 vehicles to pass the test vehicle(s), or there was enough room for the test
			 vehicle(s) to pull off the roadway to allow trailing traffic to pass.
