The Kansas Department of Transportation reminds candidates and supporters that political signs are not allowed on state highway right of ways.

KDOT says state law limits the use of highway right of ways to public highway purposes only, meaning only official regulatory, guide and warning signs placed by the agency are permitted along interstate, U.S. and Kansas highways. Maintenance crews will remove political signs found on state highway right of ways immediately and without notice.

Removed signs will be taken to the nearest KDOT subarea office, where they can be retrieved before being disposed of after the election. KDOT says campaign signs may be placed on private property adjacent to state highways with the property owner's permission. Rules for signs on city streets and county roads are determined by local jurisdictions.
