			If a city has a Welcome To sign on MoDOT right of way ([[903.9_General_Information_Signs#903.9.13_Welcome_To_Signs_for_Cities\|see EPG 903.9.13]]) or a Welcome To monument on right of way ([[:Category:941_Permits_and_Access_Requests#941.5_Request_by_a_City_to_Construct_a_.E2.80.9CWelcome_To.E2.80.9D_Monument\|see EPG 941.5]]), they have the option to install their community awareness signs at these locations. However, the city must choose their preferred location for their community awareness signs, they cannot be displayed at both their Welcome To sign/monument location and their MoDOT city limit sign location, and the city is still limited to a maximum of two community awareness signs per Welcome To sign/monument. If the city elects to install the community awareness signs on the city Welcome To sign, they must be installed on the sign posts directly below the city Welcome To sign, one community awareness sign per post. If these signs are associated with a city Welcome To monument, the community awareness signs must be attached to the monument.

	'''Guidance.''' Welcome To signs should be installed in a location that does not interfere with normal highway signs and possess the least possible threat to the motorist should they leave the roadway.

	The district should consider issuing a permit that would be tied to the installation of Welcome To signs to address details that are not covered in the TR-42 (such as locating utilities and traffic control responsibilities).
