FDOT urges political campaign sign removal

With the 2012 election season coming to an end, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is reminding citizens to use caution during the removal of political signs near state right of way.

To reduce visual clutter, it is recommended that all political campaign signs be removed within a reasonable time following the election. Improperly located signs on or near state right of way pose a safety hazard that can distract motorists or block their view, endanger the safety of individuals who are removing signs and present obstacles to crews who maintain roadways.
