| Description: |
Tourist oriented directional signing (TODS) covers Cultural, historical, recreational, educational, or entertaining activity, or unique commercial activity whose major portion of income or visitors is derived from tourists. In 1988, the Federal government incorporated Tourist Oriented Directional Signing (TODS) as official signs in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. TODS are seen as alternatives to billboard advertising by many businesses, but in fact they are designated as traffic control devices, and must meet all regulations set by the Federal Highway Administration and state sign standards. |
