If you have been driving anywhere in southeast Kansas, you will see campaign signs in towns and on the highways. However, the Kansas Department of Transportation reminds you to make sure the sign is not located on highway right of way.

All right of way on state highways is to be used exclusively for public highway purposes only regulatory, guide signs and warning signs are allowed on the state highway system.

If a political campaign or business sign is located on the right of way, KDOT maintenance crews will remove the signs without notice. All such signs will then be taken to the closest KDOT subarea office where they can be picked up by the owner with the agreement they will not be placed on state right of way again. All political campaign signs not picked up will be disposed of after the election.
