Political signs are constitutionally protected content-neutral speech under Reed v. Town of Gilbert (2015). Fresno County cannot regulate political signs differently from other temporary signs. CA Elections Code Β§20008 limits Caltrans right-of-way signs.
Under Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U.S. 155 (2015), content-based sign regulations face strict scrutiny. Fresno County applies the same temporary sign rules (size, placement, quantity) to political signs as to other non-commercial signs. CA Elections Code Β§20008 requires removal within 10 days after election from Caltrans right-of-way. Typical size: up to 32 sq ft on private property in residential zones.
