Politicians Are
Cautioned About
Highway Posters
Over the past few weeks, the
Staters political campaigns have
moved into high gear. In the
same period of time, since the
filing deadline in mid-April, the
Highway Commission has receiv
ed reports from all over the
State concerning the posting of
political bills and posters on high
way signs.
Not only is this practice ille
gal, it is also a safety hazard and
very damaging to the signs,
State law forbids the posting of
bills along the highway right of
way on the travel portion.
The posters, when placed on a
speed limit sign or a directional
or wnming sign, could cause a
motorist to have an accident.
They also bake onto the sign and
axe extremely difficult to peel off.
When they are removed, paint
end' reftectorirjng material eome
along with them.
The Highway Commission is
convinced that die various politi
cal eanifidates have no knowledge
that weir bills are being ported
on highway signs, hot the Com
