Virginia law prohibits all signs, including garage sale and yard sale notices, placed within the limits of any state highway right-of-way, with a $100 civil penalty per occurrence.
Va. Code Section 33.2-1224 makes it unlawful to paint, print, place, put, or affix any sign or advertisement within the limits of any state-maintained highway. The Commissioner of Highways may remove offending signs without notice. Each sign placement is a separate $100 civil penalty, with proceeds deposited in the Highway Maintenance and Operating Fund. Signs and advertisements within highway limits are declared a public and private nuisance. State-maintained right of way generally extends 25 to 150 feet from the road's centerline. This statute applies uniformly across all Virginia localities and overrides any local rule that would permit such placement.
Civil penalty of $100 per sign per occurrence; immediate removal without notice.
