Garage sale signs allowed on private property with owner consent. Signs in public right-of-way or on utility poles prohibited and subject to removal. Must be taken down within 24 hours after sale ends.
McKeesport's Sign Ordinance (part of the 2017 Zoning Ordinance) classifies garage/yard sale signs as temporary signs. They are permitted on private property with the owner's consent, subject to a maximum face area of 6 square feet per sign and may not be posted more than 48 hours before the sale. All signs must be removed within 24 hours after the sale concludes. Posting in the public right-of-way, on utility poles, traffic signs, street trees, or other public infrastructure is prohibited under both the zoning ordinance and PA Vehicle Code 75 Pa.C.S. §6112 (which bans unauthorized signs on state highways and their rights-of-way). McKeesport is a PennDOT-connected city (Lysle Boulevard/SR 148 and Walnut Street/SR 837 are state routes), so PennDOT may also remove and cite signs within state highway ROW. Signs obstructing the clear-sight triangle at intersections are subject to immediate removal without notice.
Unauthorized right-of-way signs: removed and discarded by Public Works without notice. Repeat offense: $50-$300 fine per sign under the Zoning Ordinance. Obstruction of sight triangle: immediate removal plus $100-$500 fine under traffic safety provisions.
