§ 3-50. Lighting.

Off-premises outdoor advertising may be illuminated, subject to the following restrictions:

(1)

No revolving or rotating beam or beacon of light that simulates any emergency light or device shall be permitted as part of any sign.

(2)

External lighting, such as flood lights, thin line and goose neck reflectors are permitted provided the light source is directed on the face of the sign and is effectively shielded so as to prevent beams or rays of light from being directed into any portion of the main travel way of the public thoroughfare.

(3)

No sign shall be permitted to project into the direct line of vision of any official traffic control signal from any point in a moving traffic lane of a thoroughfare within 660 feet of approaching such signal.

(4)

Electronic variable message signs giving public information such as, but not limited to time, date, temperature, weather, or other similar information and commercial electric variable message signs which function in the same manner as multiple message signs are permitted pursuant to this division, provided such signs do not interfere with traffic safety and do not resemble or simulate traffic control or safety devices or signs.
