				Department shall install trailblazer signs to be located on the State Highway
				System. No more than 2 trailblazer signs shall be installed on the State
				Highway System. If the route to the respective business cannot be adequately
				marked on the State Highway System with 2 trailblazer signs, the Department may
				elect to deny specific service signing for that business. If additional
				trailblazer signs are needed off the State Highway System, the participant
				shall arrange with the proper local authority (such as the city or county) to
				install the additional trailblazer signs as the Department requires. All
				required trailblazer signs shall be installed before the Department erects any
				signing.
