Police Pull Political Signs From Overpasses

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― One day before of Election Day, state highway authorities are removing political signs from freeway overpasses and pedestrian bridges.

They want voters to focus on the road, not politics.

While it's legal to stake political signs and banners in most places, they are considered a public nuisance on overpasses. The California Highway Patrol says the signs could distract motorists.

In Sacramento, officials pulled political signs from pedestrian overpasses on Interstate 80 and Highway 50 Monday morning.

State law allows the Department of Transportation, the CHP and local authorities to take down the signs without notice.
