With upcoming elections, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) reminds campaigners that state law prohibits placement of political signs or any advertising on highway right-of-way, the agency said in a news release.
These areas include driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches, sight corners at intersections, and boulevards in urban areas. It also includes displaying flags or other signs on bridges over traffic. You can also visit the MnDOT website for additional information about signs on state right-of-way.
