KYTC: Signs Blocking Right of Way Will be Removed

With election and yard sale season upon us, the KYTC is reminding residents where not to place signage.

(Covington, Ky.) – Northern Kentucky residents are being reminded that signs restricting the right of way are subject to removal.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 says they have received requests to clear non-permitted signs from right of way areas across the district, which includes Boone, Carroll, Gallatin, and Kenton counties.  

Illegally place items along state maintained right of way areas are subject to being removed, including campaign, yard sale, promotional and other advertising signs.

The KYTC says non-permitted signs can create additional hazards by blocking sight distance or distracting drivers, particularly at intersections.

With May Primary races and traditional yard sale season coming up, anyone wanting to place such signage must do so beyond roadway right of way limits. Along routes with a right of way fence, the fence is also part of the restriction, and no signage may be attached. In addition to signs, the restriction also applies to all yard sale and peddling activities and associated parking. 

It is also illegal to attach signs or items such as flyers, posters, balloons or streamers to stop signs, highway markers or any other road sign or utility pole.

Illegally placed items will be trashed or recycled.
