(Minnesota Department of Transportation)
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A reminder from MNDOT. Political, lost pet, garage sale, and other advertising signs are prohibited from being placed on highway rights of way.
The state department of transportation’s Scott Thompson says highway rights of way include driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches, sight corners at intersections, and boulevards in urban areas. He says private signs can distract motorists and, in some cases, obscure their view of the road — increasing the risk for crashes.
Workers will take down private signs located on the state highway right-of-way and transport them to the nearest MNDOT truck station where they will be available for retrieval.
