| ODOT Web site provides frequently asked questions about sign placement With election season heating up, campaign supporters are reminded that signs may not be posted on state highway right of way. There also are restrictions for signs on private property that are visible from state highways. Illegally placed signs on state highway right-of-way will be removed without notice. They are held at local ODOT district maintenance offices for 30 days. Signs are prohibited on trees, utility poles, fence posts and natural features within highway right-of-way. They also are prohibited within view of a designated scenic area. The width of state highway right-of-way can vary considerably depending on the specific location. If you’re uncertain whether you’re placing a sign on private property or highway right-of-way, check with the local ODOT district office to determine the right-of-way line. A district map and list of district telephone numbers are available online.
