Delaware Department of Transportation Begins Enforcing New Sign Laws
 |
DelDOT is enforcing laws designed to keep the State's Rights-Of-Way clear from illegal and dangerous signs. The law is simple:
- DelDOT must remove any sign posted in the Clear Zone (in medians and approx. 10' from the edge of the roadway), including those attached to utility poles anywhere along the roadway.
- Any sign in the State's Rights-of-Way that is not in the Clear Zone will also be removed.
- Exemptions apply outside the Clear Zone only for signs posted during a period of 30-days prior to and 30-days after an election, in a district in which an election is held.
- Sign owners are subject to fines of $25 per sign and a recovery fee of $15 per sign.
- Confiscated signs will be disposed of after 30 days. The fines still apply.
