<br /> <br />VicRoads also gives operational requirements for electronic advertising message signs. <br />Signage must: <br /> <br />. not display animated or moving images, or flashing or intermittent lights; <br />. remain unchanged for a minimum of 30 seconds; <br />. not be visible from a freeway; and <br />. satisfy the ten-point checklist. <br /> <br />4.0 SUGGESTED REGULA TORY APPROACH <br /> <br />Local governments regulate electronic outdoor advertising devices in widely varying degrees. <br />Some cities completely prohibit the use of all electronic signs (sometimes specifying LED signs), <br />while others have no regulations specific to electronic signs. Between those two extremes, there <br />are many levels and types of control that can be applied. <br /> <br />The primary concerns to keep in mind when considering sign regulations are I) First <br />Amendment rights, which can be affected by regulations that affect the content of a sign's <br />message, and therefore should be avoided, and 2) changing technology, which can quickly make <br />a sign ordinance no longer applicable if the ordinance has been specifically written to address a <br />certain type of sign technology. Performance based measures may therefore be preferable as they <br />remain viable even as sign technology advances. <br /> <br />4.1 Definitions <br /> <br />Signage discussions often include a number of different words or phrases used to describe the <br />technical characteristics of signage devices or their components (such as LEDs). For the purpose <br />of zoning, some additional terms are also used to describe sign characteristics. Any regulatory <br />efforts should take care to precisely define terminology. One possible resource in this effort is <br />"Street Graphics and the Law," published by the American Planning Association (APA) <br />Planning Advisory Service29 <br /> <br />4.2 Types of Regulatory Measures <br /> <br />4.2.1 Complete or Partial Prohibition of Electronic Signs <br /> <br />Some cities have completely prohibited the use of electronic outdoor advertising devices, For <br />example, the City of Maple Valley, W A prohibits all types of electronic outdoor advertising <br />devices including animated signs, electronic changeable message signs, flashing signs or <br />displays, moving signs, scrolling displays, and traveling displays. This applies to both on- <br />premise and off-premise signs. <br /> <br />Other cities are very selective about where electronic signs are allowed, allowing them only in <br />certain zoning districts. There are very few "standard" approaches. For the most part, each local <br /> <br />~22 <br />
