St. Charles County manages a program to provide off-site directional and wayfinding signage within designated corridors to direct travelers to cultural and historic sites; recreational and educational facilities; and ferries and airports. Directional signs (naming up to eight entities) and wayfinding signs (naming one entity) can be located either on private property or within County right-of-way. Such signs when located on private property typically require an annual rent payment. St. Charles County contracts to have these signs designed, manufactured, installed, and maintained at cost to the entities advertised on the signs.
