It’s been my understanding that there is a lead on the books that it is illegal to advertise in the ROW (there isn’t a punishment) but I cannot find it. Truthfully I really don’t know how to search for it.
Here’s the situation. We have a local issue going on and those in favor are sticking signs up all along the community roads. They are griping that their signs are being stolen. Here’s my understanding. The ROW extends 30’ from the center of the road. The side of the road still belongs to the property owner. Therefore these people are putting up signs on private property. My father took one of their signs because they put it directly across from his driveway on what is his property. He’s modified it to say VOTE NO but as of yet hasn’t put it back.
My question, can any of you legal eagles find the statute and am I looking st this wrong?
