Authorizing municipalities to place signage on state roads within their municipal jurisdiction and boundaries.
HB 2686 authorizes West Virginia municipalities to place signage on state roads located within their city or town boundaries. The bill specifically allows local governments to install signs such as speed warning signs or signs showing drivers their current speed. This change applies only to state roads that run through a municipality's defined jurisdiction and boundaries, giving local authorities more control over road safety messaging in their areas. The legislation does not alter state road maintenance responsibilities or require state approval for these local signs.
