The
State of Virginia recently approved HB 553, which permits local government
bodies to adopt ordinances to control and enforce signage regulation in public
highway rights-of-way (ROW). At closer glance, this legislation provides
authority to county employees (and others defined in the Bill) to remove and
confiscate signs from the ROW. It also allows for provisions to the sign owner
to reclaim the sign within a specified time frame. And finally, the legislation
exempts placement of signs by hand or foot from the one call requirement.
