TOURISM ATTRACTION SIGNING PROGRAM > Panel and Sign Design
Short Summary
This document governs the design of panels and signs for the Tourism Attraction Signing Program under the Illinois Administrative Code. The document provides specifications for freeway panel design, exit ramp panel design, and tourism attraction sign design. For freeway panels, the word ‘ATTRACTION’ and the exit number should be displayed above the tourism attraction signs in white legend on a blue background. Tourism attraction signs can be combined with business logo signs on the same panel, with a maximum of six signs per panel. However, attraction signs cannot be combined with service panels displaying more than three business logo signs. Exit ramp panels should display tourism attraction signs in a similar order to the freeway, with necessary directional arrows provided by the Department. Tourism attraction signs should be designed by the attraction and supplied to the Department, featuring the attraction name or trademark as the primary message. Supplemental messages related to the attraction, such as opening hours, may also be included. However, messages unrelated to tourism attractions, such as alcoholic beverages or vehicle sales, are not allowed. Business signs may contain a supplemental message indicating RV-friendliness, subject to specific requirements. Supplemental messages must be an integral part of the sign and not added later. The document also specifies the size and lettering requirements for different types of signs. Tourism attractions must provide sign designs to the Department for approval within 30 days of application approval. Failure to provide the design within the specified time will result in the space being declared available.
