The Arkansas Department of Transportation is reminding candidates running for office and their supporters it is unlawful to place campaign signs on highway right of ways in Arkansas.
Laws permit only official directional, informational, and regulatory highway signs on state-owned highway property.
ArDOT Director Lorie Tudor states, “There are several Arkansas statutes addressing encroachment and the placing of signs or other objects on highway right of ways.”
ArDOT personnel will remove any “yard” signs placed on the right of way and will contact owners of large “billboard” signs to remove them. Owners can pick up the signs during regular business hours at the nearest ArDOT Area Maintenance Office.
