Georgia state law restricts placement of political and outdoor advertising signs on state highway rights-of-way and regulates them under the Outdoor Advertising Control Act, while local sign regulation must respect First Amendment limits.
O.C.G.A. Title 32, Chapter 6, Article 3 (Outdoor Advertising Control Act) prohibits unpermitted signs within state highway rights-of-way and along controlled routes. Georgia DOT may remove signs placed in the right-of-way without notice. Political signs on private property are protected speech, but cities may impose content-neutral size, setback, and durational rules consistent with Reed v. Town of Gilbert. Signs cannot obstruct sight distance at intersections or driver visibility per O.C.G.A. 32-6-51.
