Safe practices: Yard Sales, Elections & Mowing Season By Chris Jessie Elizabethtown, KY - Yard sales, political signs and other advertising signage are often illegally placed on right of way and become another distraction from driving. Dangerous conditions are created in many of these locations with respect to sight distance and traffic control devices. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet would like to remind and educate citizens on right of way regulations. Regarding yard sales: Setting a yard sale on right of way is illegal. These areas are used as safety zone buffers for motorists and they provide a clear view of vehicles entering, exiting and traveling on our roads. When objects block right of way areas, line of sight is reduced and crashes become more likely. Set up yard sales off of right of way limits. Consider parking. If setting up a yard sale, think about where parking can be safely achieved. If attending a yard sale, do not park where other motorists are blocked from seeing clearly and do not park too close to traffic. As a participant or a passing motorist, safety should be a top priority. Motorists should be highly aware of surroundings. Just like in a construction zone, pay close attention when traveling through an area where multiple yard sales are taking place. Don't allow electronic devices to be a distraction. Slow down and be on the lookout for pedestrians. Taking these simple steps can greatly reduce the risk of vehicle crashes and pedestrian strikes. Regarding political and other signage No candidate, yard sale, auction, business or any other sign is allowed within these areas. Signs must be placed beyond right of way limits. Right of way fence is included in this restriction. On roads with a right of way fence, no signs may be attached. It is also illegal to attach items such as flyers, posters, balloons or streamers to stop signs, highway markers or any other road sign or utility pole within right of way. Mowing crews are being activated throughout the district. Illegally placed signs present obstacles, slowing progress and creating additional hazards to crewmembers and passing motorists. Residents, business operators and property owners along interstate, parkway, US and KY routes should be aware KYTC crews have authority and will remove signs along state maintained right of way areas. Removed items will be taken to that county's KYTC maintenance facility. Following a two week period, unclaimed materials will be discarded or recycled. Semi trailers are also being positioned as billboards around the district. Anyone utilizing this method of advertising should be aware federally regulated routes such as interstates and parkways restrict billboards. Some US and KY routes are federally funded and also have billboard restrictions. Questions related to legal/illegal sign placement can be directed to the KYTC District 4 Permits Section by calling 270.766.5066. KYTC District 4 serves Breckinridge, Grayson, Green, Hardin, Hart, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, Taylor and Washington counties. With nearly 3,000 miles of roadway to maintain, we greatly appreciate cooperation within each community regarding non-permitted signs. This story was posted on 2019-05-01 13:36:42
