Conn. Agencies Regs. § 14-280-2 - Attachment of portable signs
(a) A portable sign
constructed in accordance with section
14-280-1
of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies shall be mounted securely on
or above the roof of the motor vehicle perpendicular to the sides of the
vehicle and when in use extend vertically upward from a horizontal plane
defining the vehicle roof in a manner that permits the words on the portable
sign to be clearly visible to the operators of other vehicles at a distance of
between fifteen (15) feet and two hundred (200) feet on a straight line to the
front and rear of the motor vehicle. If necessary to provide the required
visibility, a second portable sign may be mounted on the roof of the vehicle,
or on the rear of the vehicle as permitted in subsection (a) of section
14-280-3 of the
Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
(b) Any mounting brackets, straps, clamps or
mounting hardware used to secure a portable sign to a vehicle shall not
interfere with normal window or door operation of the vehicle, shall be of
sufficient strength to withstand the load applied thereto by the sign, and
shall not pose a danger to or interfere with the occupants of the vehicle.
Suction cups, magnets or other easily detached devices shall not be used unless
in addition to secure mounting hardware. A portable sign may be screwed, bolted
or otherwise fixedly secured to a vehicle in a manner that will permit its
removal. A layer of protective or non-slip material may be used between a
portable sign or its mounting hardware and the surface of a motor
vehicle.
