Candidates in the May Primary Election are starting to get out in the public to attempt to collect supporters. Officials with the Indiana Department of Transportation urge candidates and campaign assistants to keep campaign signs out of the state’s right-of-way.
Signs are not permitted in intersections, interchanges or rights-of-way that run parallel to highways. Where the right-of-way is not clearly marked, boundaries may be estimated as the fence line, the back of a ditch or behind utility poles.
INDOT crews will remove any signs illegally placed and they may remove a sign that presents an immediate safety risk. Removed signs will be taken to the nearest INDOT facility.
Reports of illegal signs can be filed by calling 1-855-463-6848.
