1. (1) Signs for qualified features shall conform to all requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission, any of its amended supplements, and all other standards established by the Department of Transportation for official traffic control devices. The Department may approve a maximum of two qualified features, and only one such sign structure per interchange per direction of travel.

2. (2) Before approving an application for such a sign, the Engineer will review the proposed sign, legend, and placement to determine whether it will comply with these rules. Some factors the Engineer may consider include, but are not limited to: spacing or other factors involving official signs that will be installed as part of an upcoming transportation project, cost versus available funds, environmental concerns, right-of-way width, existing traffic control devices, and other issues that impact whether it is appropriate for the Department to install a sign.
