Alaska: Campaigns
Notified of Sign Encroachment - The Alaska Department of
Transportation & Public Facilities recently sent letters
to all candidates for public office in the upcoming primary and
general elections, alerting campaigns of state law prohibiting
the placement of signs inside or within 660 feet of state highway
rights-of-way.
The law requires that signs
placed within the state's right-of-way be removed immediately.
Those placed on private land within 660 feet of the right-of-way
are considered outdoor advertising and have to be removed after
30-day notice is provided to the campaign and the property owner.
"We are expecting a typical
campaign season, but wanted to make sure every candidate is aware
of the rules regarding sign placement along Alaska's highways,"
said Alasak DOT&PF Commissioner Mike Barton. "Candidates
make a significant investment in their signs,and should take
the time to ensure their volunteers understand where signs can
be erected, as well as what the law requires when they are put
up in or near state right-of-way. Failure to observe these requirements
could jeopardize Alaska's federal highway funding." - Read
