Colorado Revised Statutes Title 43. Transportation § 43-1-407. Permits

(2)(a)(I) Any other provision of law notwithstanding, the department shall issue a permit to erect or maintain an advertising device on a bus bench or bus shelter located either within the right-of-way of any state highway or on land adjacent to or visible from the right-of-way of any state highway if the local governing body having authority over the state highway pursuant to section 43-2-135 has approved such advertising device. The state shall accept the local permit as a state approved permit if the approval procedure of the local governing body included a determination that the advertising device does not restrict pedestrian traffic and is not a safety hazard to the motoring public.

(II) Except for safety requirements for bus benches or bus shelters located within the right-of-way of any state highway, the department shall not impose any additional requirements or more strict requirements in connection with permits for advertising devices on a bus bench or bus shelter than those imposed by the local governing body unless specifically required by federal law.

(III) The department shall implement this subsection (2) with the purpose of promoting the use of bus transportation.
