As Election Day grows ever closer, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is reminding political hopefuls there are restrictions to sign placement and illegally placed items will be removed from state-maintained rights-of-way.
According to a news release, no signage, not just political, is allowed on right of way other than official highway signs and items approved through a permit process. Right of way fencing is included with this restriction—on roads with a right of way fence, no signs may be attached. Fall mowing cycles are in full swing across the district and crews will not mow around illegally placed items, they will be removed. Items placed on right of way areas create significant delays for mowing crews and are potential hazards for mowing operators and passing motorists.
Removed items will be taken to each county’s KYTC maintenance facility and temporarily held. Unclaimed materials will be trashed or recycled.
