The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is reminding all Hoosiers that campaign signs are prohibited from federal and state highway rights-of-way by Indiana Code 9-21-4-6.
In a press release, INDOT said personnel are required by state law to remove all unauthorized signs within the state right-of-way. The right-of-way areas which must remain “sign free” for the safety of the motoring public include:
• All interstates and their interchanges;
• All intersections where at least one local, state or federal road intersects with a state or federal highway; and
• All rights-of-way paralleling federal or state highways (the right-of-way extends to the back of the ditch, to the fence line or up to utility poles). INDOT crews will not pull signs placed behind the ditch, fence line or beyond the public utility poles.
Removed signs are being saved at the nearest INDOT Subdistrict office. Candidates may reclaim signs between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, except for holidays, at these locations:.
• Aurora Subdistrict, 8074 US 50, Aurora 812-926-0376
• Bloomington Subdistrict, 2965 Prow Road, Bloomington 812-332-1411
• Columbus Subdistrict, 3545 Two Mile House Road, Columbus 812-372-7837
• Falls City Subdistrict, 5701 HWY. 31, Clarksville 812-282-7493
• Madison Subdistrict, 1875 W. JPG Woodfill Road, Madison 812-574-4368
