I genuinely wish candidates started signing a compact against signs. They're probably God awful for the environment.

They have to be. They don’t appear to be made of degradable materials and there is a large amount of them everywhere.

I'm also in Chester county, I drive by a massive "Let's go Brandon" Trump sign every day on the way to work. It's permanent, framed with wood and armored with wire fence on both sides. I don't think it's ever coming down.

Lol I’ve seen that one. That person put some effort into making that sign. Wish they spent that much effort fixing up their house

This made me chuckle because I spend so much time in rural areas running my motorcycle and I see that all the time...people put so much time and effort into crafting these political messaging signs meanwhile their houses look like they should be condemned....

Lol. I was more talking about the shitty little plastic ones. Those big wooden ones, although ugly, aren’t going anywhere (also on private property I’d hope).

There is one of those in my parents neighborhood. Like it’s a permanent structure. I thought it was a makeshift winter bus stop for kids at first. The guy must have been told he cannot have abusive language on it because you can tell he covered swear words about Biden with these little metal signs that have some insane diatribe on each

Yep, local zoning codes control here. Some have been changing because zoning and code officers who have to enforce the rules have been threatened by people when asked to take down their signs, sadly.

Guntcher1423 t1_iw3c2rr wrote

Maybe the question should be, if they are on public property, can anyone remove them now that the election is over?

cpr4life8 t1_iw3csvk wrote

Yes you can, but there's always the risk that someone who supports that candidate goes off on you for removing it.

Guntcher1423 t1_iw3d0ik wrote

Well, they can't guard all of them along the road. If enough people do this, the few that are left won't matter.

Oh you're absolutely right, I was just thinking it would be my luck that I would pull over to get rid of one and right around that time one of those pickup trucks full of flags would pull up behind my vehicle..... 😬

If you’re worried about that, just say you’re working for their campaign and picking up their signs. I’ve worked on political campaigns in the past and the day after Election Day is spent picking up signs all day. By the looks of it, not every campaign is run that way. There are still a bunch of signs out. Though it is interesting to notice is about 70% the people that lost, 30% the people that won that are still up. Maybe the losers just gave up after the election.

This is for Allegheny County*, so your county may have something similar? Not that it really does any good because nobody around here seems to obey it. Stupid signs stay up on public property for months. https://ecode360.com/8485459

Escobarhippo t1_iw2qiml wrote

Anyone near Hanover? There is a person who always has a massive display of signs in their yard year round. Let’s Go Brandon, Impeach Biden, all of the R candidates from this election, a picture of Biden/Harris labeled “Dumb & Dumber.” Last Christmas there was even a Santa with a string of yellow lights “peeing” on a Biden/Harris sign. That didn’t stay up long though.

Hi_There_Face_Here OP t1_iw2scr6 wrote

Yikes. If you ever see them outside their house give them a big thumbs down from me as you drive by lol

But to revert back to the post, I’m pretty sure there are laws against all those yard signs. I’m pretty sure it’s like 4 signs max on a residential lawn. Maybe I’m wrong.

Calan_adan t1_iw3ao4x wrote

That would be a local ordinance thing and it would vary by municipality. Or HOA issue.

cpr4life8 t1_iw3ck5k wrote

I think most people who put up all those political signs are definitely not living in an HOA...I mean they aren't interested in following any rules or laws that they disagree with so just imagine them in an HOA!

Of course the Winner’s signs come down. This guy I saw yesterday was putting fresh Mastriano signs down in an empty area (where signs used to be). So lame. Maybe Mastriano didn’t concede yet?

PinsAndBeetles t1_iw2zu6f wrote

He has not conceded. It’s not over yet. With enough prayer, rejoicing in the lord, and singing of hymns (whilst wearing “F**k Biden shirts) he could still pull it off! Victory is his for the taking, now raise your Confederate flag and kneel in prayer.

realhighstonerguy t1_iw3r70x wrote

I've tried talking to these people. Despite Shapiro winning by more than 700,000 votes, they demand an audit. Also they like to peddle "Mastriano won more real votes!" (as in more people votes for him in person.)

You had me there in the first two sentences. I’ll send my thoughts and prayers to Mastriano’s team

Good because if he doesn’t win that would mean it wasn’t god’s will and we all know that just can’t be! The lord doesn’t make mistakes.

That fuckface even put a Bible verse on his signage. John 8:36 if I’m not mistaken. I looked it up and it makes absolutely no sense..

The asshats where I live nailed Mastriano and Trump signs into trees along Rt 30 between Latrobe and Ligonier. Not sure what size truck they stand on to do it , but they are out of reach. Like they don’t litter regular garbage enough, they have to nail them to trees.

BoopBoop20 t1_iw4inp5 wrote

I honestly will stop at any road intersection after the election is over and take any and all signs, regardless of whose name is on it, throw it in my truck, take it home and dispose of it properly. I’m sick of looking at these signs for months on end without anyone giving two shits about the earth it’s destroying. These signs aren’t even biodegradable! Most are plastic!

The only thing I will not do is go onto people’s private property because then it’s a felony and I’m not going to jail or getting a fine or possibly a gun pulled on me just because I don’t want to look at a sign on my drive home anymore.

Chester county here too. I’m still seeing signs littering the side of the roads unfortunately.

discogeek t1_iw3vrvf wrote

You'd need to check with whatever township it's in. Like here's East Bradford's policy.

https://eastbradford.org/173/Political-Signs

If it's on public property you could always report your neighbor for littering; take a picture or it'd be a he-said-she-said situation though and probably would only end up in hard feelings for both of you and police grumbling about it being something they can't do anything about without hard proof.

Aes_Should_Die t1_iw3x7sk wrote

Most places it’s usually that you have to get them off the public lands within a few days to a week after the election. Removing one from your yard May come down to neighborhood rules. But yeah, I am tired of seeing nonstop Trump signs for 6 years on Cambria/Somerset Counties.

hufarted-me t1_iw3oghi wrote

Municipalities are terrified of 1A litigation, so they’ll try desperately hard to avoid enforcement of their very-constitutional sign ordinances. I had convo about it with a solicitor a couple of years ago. He agreed that the ordinance governing temporary signs was enforceable against political signs that stay out too long or are too big, but that it would be up to me to file a writ of mandamus if I wanted them to enforce it. The politically mixed panel of supervisors were unanimous about not wanting it enforced against political signs.

They’re plastic trash, on the side of the street, in my neighborhood. So, I’d prefer they were done away with sometime soon since ya know, the elections are over.

There are regulations around them, I’m sure they’ll be gone soon.

They’ll be collected, I’m sure. However, they’re up legally, so just deal with it. If you want them, go for it.

Property owned by private parties. It’s a misdemeanor in PA to remove the signs. The owners of the signs have 30 days after an election to remove them from public lands before the state removes them and fines who placed them.

Omg….you’re reaching. First of all, personal property is property owned by ONE person. So no, personal property is not the correct term. Those signs are private property owned by groups supporting the candidates.

WTH are you taking about?? A yard sign isn’t land. No one is equating it to land. Private property encompasses many things. A copyright is private property, and just bc it’s private property doesn’t mean it’s related in any way to land, other than they’re both examples of private property.
