Election signs on state right-of-ways are a no-no

Now that election season has started and election signs are popping up on Florida roadsides, the Florida Department of Transportation is reminding all candidates that state law prohibits political signs on state right of ways.

DOT will remove any political signs placed on state right of way will and placed at one of the department’s operations centers. 

DOT will try to preserve any campaign signs that are taken down and to provide campaign offices an opportunity to claim the signs.

The state defines the roadway right of way as the roadway surface, concrete or grassy median, intersections, entrance and exit ramps, or land on either side of the road which is reserved for shoulders, drainage ditches, sidewalks, traffic signs and signals and utility lines.
