Political Signs Banned from County Rights of Way

Deschutes County announced on April 8 that political signs are no longer allowed in the right of way of public roads under the jurisdiction of Deschutes County. These changes come after the Board of County Commissioners adopted changes last year to county code.

"Improperly placed political signs along a road can compromise the safety of all road users by interfering with official traffic control devices, restricting sight lines, and causing distractions," said Chris Doty, Deschutes County Road Department director. "The change aligns us with other public road agencies in Central Oregon."
