There are five basic types of official guide sign programs available to businesses that provide services to motorists or are an attraction, historic site or recreational area. Check these five programs to see for which ones you qualify and what the process is to apply.

Limited Supplemental Guide Signs - These are brown official guide signs approaching interchanges on interstates and parkways for tourist attractions, historic sites and recreational areas.

Post Interchange Guide Signs - This is a new experimental pilot program in Kentucky approved by the Federal Highway Administration. Attractions with a Limited Supplemental Guide Sign on interstates and parkways are eligible to apply for these signs, which will be located 10 to 20 miles in advance of an attraction to give a motorist "advance" notice of an upcoming attraction.

Logo Program - Gas, food, lodging, camping and tourist activities are eligible to place their logo at interchanges on interstates and parkways. Some segments of partially controlled highways will soon be available.

Cultural and Recreational Supplemental Guide Signs - Under this new signage program, attractions may be listed on a brown sign located at intersections along state routes and city streets. Up to four attractions may be listed on each sign.

Tourist Oriented Directional Signs - These are official blue panel guide signs on state roads and city streets for gas, food, lodging, camping and tourist activities, under the heading of "Tourist Activities."
