ELIZABETHTOWN (04/19/24) – Mowing cycles by state highway crews are under way and illegally placed items along state maintained right of way areas are being removed, according to the Department of Highways. Residents, business operators and property owners along US and Kentucky routes are reminded no signage is allowed on right of way other than official highway signs and items approved through a permit process. Particularly, with yard sales and property sales commonly taking place in spring along with the May Primary, related signs must be placed beyond right of way limits. Crews will not mow around the items. They will be removed and be taken to each county’s state highway maintenance facility and held for a short period of time. Unclaimed materials will be trashed or recycled. Items placed on right of way areas create significant delays for mowing crews and are potential hazards for mowing operators and passing motorists. All sale activities including parking should be off right of way limits.
