(Spanish Fork, UT) — A Utah lawmaker thinks allowing political signs on freeway overpasses and highway medians is a safety hazard. Republican State Senator Mike McKell of Spanish Fork says he’s planning to introduce a bill that would prohibit campaign signs on government property, including areas near a highway. He says he’s seen too many signs placed between busy roads and off-ramps, a practice he says is dangerous and distracting. His bill would allow the Utah Department of Transportation to remove improperly placed signs and charge the political campaigns that are responsible.
