The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is continuing to mow the right-of-ways and says they will be removing signs that have been placed illegally in them.
According to a news release, political candidates, residents, business operators, and property owners should be aware that no signage is allowed on right of way other than official highway signs and items approved through a permit process.
Illegally placed signs create a hazard for both mowing crews and the public, according to District 1 Chief Engineer Kyle Poat who says, “Each year, as our crews and contractors mow along highway right of way they encounter illegal signs. It becomes an even greater problem as Election Day approaches. We fully understand that citizens want to support their favorite candidates. However, signs placed on state right of way can create a number of hazards.”
