ST. PAUL — The 2024 Election cycle is in full swing, with many campaign signs decorating lawns in Minnesota already.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation is reminding campaigners not to place political or advertising signs on highway rights-of-way.
"These areas include driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches, sight corners at intersections, and boulevards in urban areas," MnDOT stated in a news release.
Displaying flags or other signs on bridges over traffic is also prohibited.
Signs cannot be displayed on private land without the consent of the landowner, according to state law, which also prohibits the practice of placing advertising materials on public utility poles, trees and shrubs and painting or drawing on rocks or natural features.
