S 540 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOT to develop common design for signs that indicate historic district or site.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to create a standardized design for road signs marking historic districts or sites, working with state agencies including environmental and historic preservation offices. The signs must include a clear historic symbol (e.g., representing a war, event, or era) and follow federal traffic sign standards. When state agencies replace existing historic district or site signs, they must use this new uniform design. The bill directly affects state agencies managing road signs and historic properties, ensuring consistent public signage for historical sites across New Jersey.
