North Carolina highway law only authorizes political and farm signs in the state right-of-way, so garage- and yard-sale signs placed in the public right-of-way are not permitted and may be removed. On private property, Fayetteville's temporary-sign standards apply.
G.S. § 136-32 permits only compliant political and farm signs in the right-of-way of the state highway system; it sets no allowance for garage- or yard-sale advertising signs, so those placed on state road shoulders or medians are unauthorized and subject to removal. Even permitted right-of-way signs must sit at least three feet from the pavement, stay under 42 inches tall, and be no larger than 864 square inches. On private property, temporary sale signs in Fayetteville are regulated by the city's UDO sign standards (typically limited number, size, and display period, with owner permission). The unincorporated county sets no separate garage-sale sign rule beyond the state right-of-way limits and its own sign provisions.
Yard-sale signs placed in the state or city right-of-way are unauthorized and may be removed and discarded by the maintaining authority without penalty to it.
