As we enter election season with candidates beginning to distribute their respective campaign signs, it is important to ensure that all candidates and campaigns remain in compliance with the Township’s ordinances regarding political signs and signs in general.
Township Code section 142-48(A)(3)(d) states:
Political signs temporarily giving notice of political campaigns shall be set back at least five feet from all street right-of-way and property lines and shall not exceed 16 square feet in area.
While it is the responsibility of each candidate and campaign to know the locations of the right-of-way of each street, generally speaking, the land between the sidewalk and curb and medians are government-owned rights-of-way. Candidates and campaigns must refrain from placing signs in these areas and place all signs at least five feet from the sidewalks edge furthest from the curb.
Additionally, Chapter 174 of the Township Code prohibits the posting of any sign in any public park or “on any public lands or highways or roads adjacent to a park” without written authorization of the Recreation Division. Candidates and campaigns must refrain from placing signs in these areas as well.
All candidates and campaigns are hereby noticed that if signs currently located within the street right-of-way or medians, or in parks or public lands adjacent to parks, are not removed by Saturday, September 23, 2023, the Township will remove the signs. Those signs will be available for pick up at the Department of Public Works facility, located at 56 Robbinsville Allentown Road, during normal business hours.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
