Election 2018: Campaign signs illegal on state rights-of-way Illegally placed signs are being removed. Regulations described below apply to all Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Districts. Click on headline for complete story. Comments welcome. By Chris Jessie, Public Information Officer, KYTC, District 4, 2018 Elizabethtown, KY (February 12, 2017) - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews are removing illegally placed items along state maintained right of way areas. Political candidates, residents, business operators and property owners along US and KY routes are reminded no signage is allowed on right of way other than official highway signs and items approved through a permit process. In particular, as we head through an election cycle, campaign signs must be placed beyond right of way limits. Right of way fence is included with this restriction. On roads with a right of way fence, no signs may be attached. Trash cleanup cycles begin soon and mowing cycles begin in early May. Items placed on right of way areas create significant delays for mowing crews and are potential hazards for mowing operators and passing motorists. As we head into spring, KYTC takes this opportunity to educate citizens on right of way issues. In addition to elections, the restriction often becomes a problem with regard to yard sales and real estate advertising. Illegally placed materials along roads can create additional hazards by blocking sight distance or distracting drivers, particularly at intersections. It is also illegal to attach items such as flyers, posters, balloons or streamers to stop signs, highway markers or any other road sign or utility pole. Illegal placement on utility poles presents additional obstacles and potential dangers for utility crew workers. Removed items will be taken to each county's KYTC maintenance facility and held for a month. Unclaimed materials will be trashed or recycled. If you have questions related to legal/illegal sign placement, please get in touch with KYTC District 4 in Elizabethtown at 270-766-5066. KYTC District 4 serves Breckinridge, Grayson, Green, Hardin, Hart, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, Taylor and Washington counties. With nearly 3,000 miles of roadway to maintain, we greatly appreciate cooperation within each community regarding illegally placed items along right of way areas.
