(f) Spacing and Location Requirements. (1) For the purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 173.16, Subdivi- sion 4, distance restrictions between advertising devices apply only to those devices physically located on the same. side of the highway regardless of the direction of travel to which the display or message is directed. Measurements to determine the location of one advertising device in relation to another will be made along the edge of the roadbed between the closest extremities of said devices, with the termini projected along lines perpendicular to the edge of the roadbed. • (2) For the purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 173.16, Subdivi- sion 4, Subsection (4) outside of incorporated cities, villages or boroughs where an intersection includes ramps or legs, the intersection shall be con- strued as the entire area circumscribed by a line connecting all points where the outmost ramps or legs leave or enter the main traveled roadway and where they intersect with another highway or road. Advertising devices will not be permitted within five hundred (500) feet of the point where the out- most ramps or legs leave or enter the main traveled roadway orfor five hundred (500) feet on the other highway or road from the point of its inter- section with the ramps or legs, nor in the area between said points. This is defined as the area adjacent to the ramp and legs. Devices may however be affixed on or located to a building at such an intersection but in such a manner so as to cause no greater visual obstruction than the building itself. (3) For the purpose of Minnesota Statutes, Section 173.16, Subdivision 4, Subsection 5, on primary highways or fully controlled access freeways outside of incorporated cities, villages or boroughs where there arc no ramps or legs, the prohibited area at an intersection shall be construed as the entire area of three hundred (300) feet outwardly as measured along the roadway from the center point of two (2) intersecting roadbeds. Advertising will not be permitted within this three hundred (300) foot area. (4) Por the purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 173.08, Subdivi- sion 2, the restrictive distances that determine areas in which advertising devices are prohibited will apply to lands along and adjacent to interstate, primary highways and expressways and fully controlled freeways both before and beyond property used for any school, church, national, state or local park, historic site, public picnic area, wayside. overnight, or public safety rest area. Such restrictive distances shall be measured along the edge of the - roadbed beginning at a point which is an extension, perpendicular 10 the edge of the roadbed, of the intersection of the property line of the area and the normal highway right-of-way line. The restrictive distances shall apply to lands along and adjacent to the opposite sice of the interstate, primary high- way, expressway and controlled freeway, as measured by an imaginary line crossing the highway. 3:1
