Question:
What are the rules for placing political signs?

Answer:
Each year, hundreds of political signs line roadsides across the state. Improperly placed signs can create safety hazards and interfere with a driver's vision along roadways. To maintain traffic safety, while affording office-seekers the opportunity to inform the public, the following rules govern the placement of signs:

• Political candidates are responsible for obtaining approval from the adjacent property owner to place the signs.
• Signs may not be displayed until 60 days prior to the election
• Signs must be removed within 14 days following an election.
• Signs must not be placed within or over any state, county or municipal right-of-way, including the park strip, this is the area between the curb and the sidewalk.
• Signs are not permitted within areas used for clear vision at intersections or commercial driveways, so they will not interfere with the sight distance of a driver.
• Any illegally placed signs will be removed.
• Signs removed by borough employees will be kept for seven days at the rear of the Borough Hall or Public Works Garage, and then discarded.
