HCR 3 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

TRANSPORTATION DEPT: Amends the Department of Transportation and Development administrative rules relative to outdoor advertising

HCR 3 amends Louisiana's transportation rules to update outdoor advertising sign regulations along state highways. It increases minimum spacing between signs to 1,000 feet (from 300-500 feet) in most areas, bans new stacked sign configurations after July 31, 2025, and requires existing stacked signs to be repaired as single signs. These changes directly affect sign owners, businesses operating roadside advertising, and the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD), which enforces the rules. The bill aims to improve highway safety and scenic preservation by reducing visual distractions for drivers, aligning with federal Highway Beautification Act principles.
