Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four is responsible for maintaining nearly 3,000 miles of regional roadways, and they are asking for the public’s assistance.
KYTC District Four is reminding residents that no signage is allowed along state-maintained right of way areas other than official highway signs and items approved through a permit process.
Mowing cycles have begun on District Four roadways, so highway crews are removing yard sale, political, and other promotional signs that are being placed on right of ways. It is also illegal to attach items such as flyers, posters, balloons, or streamers to stop signs, highway markers, and utility poles.
The KYTC says signs and objects placed in the right of way create potential hazards for drivers by blocking sightlines or causing distractions. Mowing crews will not mow around signs and have to stop their work to remove them, causing delays and potential hazards along the side of the road.
Removed items are held for a short period of time at KYTC facilities, then are trashed or recycled after going unclaimed. Contact KYTC District Four in Elizabethtown at 270-766-5066 or online for more information.
