Signs, Gateways, And Landscaping … Oh My!, George Mccue, Dimas Prasetya
Purdue Road School
Cities and towns want to welcome highway travelers with gateway signs or aesthetics. Whether that’s part of a road project or a standalone proposal, a key to proper planning is understanding safety-based limitations on what can be placed on state ROW and where. Even off- ROW, there are laws governing nearby visible signage. We’ll cover INDOT’s Public Art and Landscaping Policy, FHWA’s role, and the federal Highway Beautification Act.

Small structure inspections (those under 20 ft) are often overlooked but are crucial when maintaining highway infrastructure. While not mandatory, INDOT and FHWA recommend routine inspections every 4 to 6 years. Identifying these structures beneath our roadways is vital for timely repairs or replacements and can prevent costly emergencies. A robust inspection program sup- ported by tools like USI’s IVY software, ensures efficient data management and enables agencies to plan and act proactively based on inspection results.
