Campaign signs and other signs placed on state right-of-way that restrict sight distance or interfere with mowing operations will be moved by Kentucky Transportation (KYTCC) crews in the coming weeks.

Signs encroaching on state right-of-way pose a potential hazard to motorists and also impede crews and other maintenance operations.

The KYT is about to begin the spring mowing cycle.

Kentucky law and KYTC policy prohibit placement of any signs–for political candidates, yard sale or other type of advertising–on state right-of-way.

The prohibition includes signs attached to utility poles or fences on the right-of-way.

Signs will be moved to the state highway garage in each county of KYTC District 8 and kept for two weeks. Unclaimed signs will be discarded.
