Political Signs

Scranton's sign regulation cannot impose content-based restrictions on political signs after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015). Scranton City Code sign provisions (codified in the zoning ordinance at ecode360.com/SC1148) treat political signs as a content-neutral matter, with size, placement, duration, and material limits applied uniformly to temporary signs regardless of message. State-highway right-of-way (I-81, I-84, I-380, US 6, US 11, PA 307, PA 347) is controlled by PennDOT under 67 Pa. Code Chapter 445, which prohibits unauthorized signs in the right-of-way regardless of content. Pennsylvania Election Code at 25 P.S. §3060(c) prohibits campaign signs within 10 feet of a polling-place entrance on Election Day.
