MoDOT Warns Improperly Placed Signage on Right-of-Way to be Removed

With the political season and the upcoming garage sale season now upon us, the Missouri Department of Transportation is cautioning those who post signs for the public to see to make sure the signs are not infringing on state right-of-way.

“It’s actually state statute to that those signage is that signage is not appropriate to be placed on Modot right away. So we will be making a considerable effort going into the season, obviously with the election season with campaign signs, but also just the garage sale signs, the yard sale signs.”

Central District Area Engineer Danny Roeger also says there will be little or no leniency for those who don’t bother to make sure signs are appropriately placed.

“If you are aware that your sign is located on right away, I would suggest you get it removed before our maintenance crews come out and remove it.”

Those who do have their signs removed from right-of-way by MoDOT will generally have 30 days to claim those signs back from the local maintenance facility.
