			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.
