Existing Signs

Traffic Signs.
The city may not remove or relocate existing traffic signs (regulatory, warning, destination, guide, recreation, or cultural interest) without the written permission of TxDOT. If TxDOT grants permission to move a traffic sign to accommodate a city pride or TCEQ sign, the city bears both the responsibility and expense.
Non-Traffic Signs.
Although a city's participation in the CPSP is voluntary, cities must remove all non-traffic-related (civic organization) signage not in compliance with the CPSP rules from TxDOT right-of-way. Non-official or non-traffic-related signs and attachments cannot be attached to TxDOT sign supports. Information explaining the CPSP is available from TRF and on the TxDOT website.
At the city's request, districts may remove non-official and non-traffic related signs from TxDOT supports and return the signs to the city. However, districts should not remove these signs without first contacting the city and allowing the city a chance to remove the signs voluntarily. Signs removed by TxDOT forces should be returned to the city or stored until the city (or others) can be contacted. TxDOT forces should not discard signs that are property of the city (or others) unless there has been no effort to contact TxDOT or retrieve the signs within 60 days of notification.
