Sign Law Evaluation Delayed For More Vermont Signs
In Montpelier the Travel Information Council postponed a state owned signs evaluation under the 1968 ban on private roadside signs.

Officials said later this year will be more meaningful as there are not enough directional signs yet. The law is under challenge by Vermont Outdoor Advertising Co. and a Rockingham motel over whether southeastern Vermont is adequately signed.
