In most states, the preferred method to advertise businesses from non-freeway roads is using Tourist Oriented Directional Signs, or TODS. However, here in Arizona, instead of TODS, the logo sign program also includes non-freeway state roads. You will often find these on state roads in many small towns in Arizona, and the City of Glendale is actually trying to convince ADOT to do the same along US 60 Grand Avenue near Downtown Glendale.
I wonder, what other states have a logo sign program for non-freeway roads?
Note: Trailblazer logo signs don't count. These are installed on arterials but are designed to direct traffic exiting from a freeway to a business located on a cross street or if the business isn't easily visible from the main arterial.
Do "Adopt a Highway" signs count? Because I know of a road that has an adopt a highway sign, except, the road isn't a highway.
New Jersey has them along some state highways. Every so many places you will see a Shop Rite logo sign directing you down another arterial or even navigate you through a jughandle where the store or business is located in a tricky spot to reach due to the continuous jersey barrier or sealed grass median.

Nope, these don't count either.
Do they have to have logos on them? We have a lot of blue guide signs directing people to private attractions, like the ones at the bottom of this sign salad:

Those are Tourist Oriented Directional Signs (TODS), which I already mentioned in my OP and is what most states use to advertise businesses from arterials. However, Arizona actually uses logo signs instead.
