This law states that when it comes to putting up advertising signs in areas of California that aren't part of a city or town, the rules in this specific chapter are the only ones that apply. No other state or local rules can override these regulations for signs that are visible from public highways in those areas.

This law says that when it comes to placing advertising signs that people can see from highways, the rules mainly apply to areas that aren't part of a city or town (unincorporated areas). However, if the signs are within 660 feet of the highway and the message on them can be seen from major highways, including parts that run through cities or towns, this law also covers those signs.

This section outlines certain exceptions to advertising display regulations, mainly focusing on real estate signs, arena-related advertising, and public service messages. It allows for specific types of advertising signs to be exempt from the usual rules, particularly those related to selling or leasing property and signs on large sports arenas. These arena signs must follow local ordinances, not advertise restricted products like tobacco, and might have to display public service messages if they are electronic. Local governments can impose further restrictions, and there's a penalty for non-compliance if federal funds are at risk due to these signs.

This law clarifies when advertising displays are allowed at multimodal transit facilities that are on public land in California. Essentially, most of the chapter's rules don't apply if the display is on public property and the transit facility has certain traits, like being identified as part of a sustainable community plan, hosting passenger rail, and serving as a current or future high-speed train station. Advertisement displays must be close to the facility and cannot promote tobacco, firearms, or explicit content. Revenue from these ads should benefit the transit facility, and they must not reduce federal highway funds—if they do, there are consequences including fines. Ads need local government approval through ordinances covering specifics like size and illumination. Local authorities must also ensure continued compliance with the law's rules.

This law outlines exceptions to advertising display rules in certain areas of Los Angeles. It allows specific advertising displays if the city passes an ordinance with detailed rules on signage, such as number of signs, size, separation, and illumination. These displays can’t advertise tobacco, firearms, or explicit content. Displays must be 500 feet apart unless obstructed, and certain displays aren't counted in spacing rules. Los Angeles can impose stricter rules than this section. Message centers must allow public service announcements like Amber Alerts. Displays need federal approval to ensure they don't cut federal funding. The city is responsible for adherence, and if not, must handle costs related to compliance issues.

This law requires that when California renegotiates its deal with the Federal Highway Administration about keeping roadsides neat, it should prioritize supporting advertising displays at arenas.

This law allows certain advertising displays related to former state redevelopment agency projects to continue operating as long as they meet specific conditions. The displays must be within the boundaries of their original project area, have been constructed by January 1, 2012, and must not lead to a reduction in federal highway funding. If federal authorities warn that a display could affect funding, the display owner must remove the advertising within 60 days, or face daily fines. These displays can remain until January 1, 2026. Local governments must ensure these displays comply with the law and offer public benefits, while covering any costs if the state has to enforce compliance.

This section addresses the rules for certain advertising displays in the City of Inglewood. These displays can continue to exist and advertise businesses even if they're outside the redevelopment area, as long as they meet specific conditions: they must be on-premises displays, located within Inglewood, built by January 1, 2012, next to I-405, and must not affect federal highway funds. If federal funds are at risk, the ads must be taken down swiftly. The City of Inglewood can request an extension for these displays if they prove beneficial to the area. Displays need to meet public benefit standards and use a portion of the space for business directions. Inglewood is largely responsible for compliance, and the city must indemnify the state if they fail to enforce the rules.

This law allows certain cities in California to have advertising displays for businesses in redevelopment areas, treating the whole area as a single location for these ads. This can last for up to 10 years or until the project is done, whichever is first, unless extended. The local redevelopment agency must approve any new advertising displays and ensure they don't affect safety or the community's appearance negatively. Permits can be denied if the ads break specific rules or risk losing federal highway funds.

This law section explains that certain rules for on-premises advertising displays don't apply if the display is within a business center, visible from a highway, and meets specific criteria. The display must be within a development project for commercial or industrial use, identify the business center, and the businesses listed must be within the center. The city's governing body must approve ordinances for the display area, aiming to consolidate and reduce the number of displays. Additionally, these displays should not affect federal highway funds.
