(a) A sign erected
or maintained for an event or activity on the site where the sign is located
may not be installed more than 30 days before the event or activity, and must
be removed not more than 10 days after the event or activity that is advertised
is completed.
(b) A sign
advertising the sale or lease of the site where the sign is installed must be
removed within 30 days after the sale or lease of the premises or within 10
days after the recording of documents evidencing the transaction, whichever
occurs first.
(c) The department
may issue a permit to allow advertising within highway rights-of-way on bus
benches, bus shelters, and adjacent trash receptacles. The trash receptacles
may not be located more than 15 feet from the bus bench or shelter. Except as
provided in (d) and (e) of this section, the department will select the
permittee through a request for proposals process that is consistent with state
law and that considers
(1) any annual payment
from the permittee to display advertising allowed by this subsection;
(2) the value of trash removal services, if
any, to be provided by the permittee;
(3) the proposed frequency of any trash
removal services;
(4)
qualifications of the contractor for any trash removal services to be provided;
and
(5) other requirements that the
department considers necessary to ensure compliance with AS 19.25 and this
section and to protect public safety.
(d) The department may negotiate an
agreement, subject to the requirements in (c) and (e) of this section, with a
municipality that operates year-round transit service, to administer a permit
system for advertising within highway rights-of-way on bus benches, bus
shelters, and trash receptacles. The trash receptacles may not be located more
than 15 feet from the bus bench or shelter.
(e) For bus benches, bus shelters, and
adjacent trash receptacles described in AS 19.25. 105(d)(1), the department may
grant a permit at no cost to a nonprofit corporation that is exempt from
taxation under 26 U.S.C.
501(c)(3). A permittee under
this subsection may place its name or logo upon those bus benches, bus
shelters, and trash receptacles, if the permittee has provided the bus benches,
bus shelters, and trash receptacles. The trash receptacles may not be located
more than 15 feet from the bus bench or shelter.
(f) Except for a sign painted on a vehicle
evidencing the ownership of the vehicle, "outdoor advertising" within the
meaning given in
AS
19.25.160 includes a sign that can be read
from the highway and that is mounted or resting on a vehicle parked in a
highway right-of-way, or in a highway rest stop or pullout.
