  (2) a roadway that is not state maintained; or

  (3) documented legal access through adjoining private property.

This section does not apply to the maintenance of a sign that is on railroad right of way and to which §21.168(a) of this subchapter (relating to Continuance of Nonconforming Signs) applies if:

  (1) crossing the state's right of way line is the only available access to the sign; and

  (2) the permit holder notifies and obtains approval of the department before accessing the sign for maintenance.
