Noticed that sign this morning too. It's at least 4 times the allowable size- it's huuuuge! It obstructs visibility in the intersection, and is substantially higher than 42 inches above the pavement.

Signs must be placed in accordance with the following:
(1) No sign shall be permitted in the right-of-way of a fully controlled access
highway.
(2) No sign shall be closer than three feet from the edge of the pavement of the
road.
(3) No sign shall obscure motorist visibility at an intersection.
(4) No sign shall be higher than 42 inches above the edge of the pavement of the
road.
(5) No sign shall be larger than 864 square inches.
(6) No sign shall obscure or replace another sign.

Good Afternoon. The issue has been forwarded to the NCDOT for investigation. These areas are NCDOT right-of-ways and fall under their jurisdiction as covered in G.S. 136-32. The Town has requested it be investigated by the district office. Under Town ordinance 11.11.16, signage in the NCDOT right-of-way is prohibited under state law and enforced only by NCDOT. Thank you
