Candidates Need to Remove Campaign Signs

The is reminding candidates to remove their campaign signs from along state roads.

When PennDOT workers have to remove campaign signs, it takes them away from working on highway maintenance and safety projects.

Campaign signs left along roadways may pose the following risks:

• Reduced sight distance at intersections

• Possible harm to animals (wire posts could cut animals, and the plastic signs could be mistakenly eaten by animals)

• Plastic signs that blow off their posts could clog drains

• Wire posts left behind may cause safety hazards to PennDOT employees when they mow roadside vegetation
• And they're really ugly
