Signs shall conform to the general clearance requirements of this section except where more stringent requirements may apply in other sections of this chapter.
(A) Signs shall be located not less than six feet horizontally or 12 feet vertically from overhead electrical conductors which are energized in excess of 750 volts. The term “overhead conductors” as used in this section means any electrical conductor, either bare or insulated, installed above the ground, except such conductors as are enclosed in electrical conduit or other material covering of equal strength. No sign shall be erected nearer than six feet to any telephone cable, power line, or any street light standard. In the case of a conflict between this section and the requirements of the National Electrical Code or any Public Utility, the more restrictive requirements shall govern.
(B) No sign or sign structure shall be erected in such a manner that any portion of its surface or supports will interfere in any way with the free use of any fire escape, exit, or standpipe.
