Highways: signs; requirements for signage; modify. Amends sec. 7b of 1972 PA 106 (MCL 252.307b).

SB 1185 modifies Michigan's highway signage laws to allow the Department of Transportation to issue permits for directional signs pointing to specific military facilities, nationally or regionally known attractions, and sites of outstanding interest. These permitted signs must be limited in size and content, displaying only the name of the destination and basic navigation details like route numbers without any pictures or descriptive phrases. The bill also establishes strict placement rules, such as keeping signs at least 2,000 feet from highway interchanges and limiting the total number of signs for a single attraction to three along any road. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that the number of annual visitors to a military facility will not be used as a factor when deciding whether to grant a sign permit.
