MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is urging political candidates and their supporters to remove all campaign signs from state highway roadsides while crews and contractors prepare to start their fall mowing cycle.

According to KYTC, all campaign signs and advertising signs will be removed from state rights of way ahead of mowing crews. Yard signs illegally placed along state highways create a safety hazard for the public and mowing crews. They also cost taxpayers in the time and effort required for highway personnel to remove them.
