Portable Signs on State Highway Right of Way and Repeated Violations of ORS 377.650

Any sign as defined by ORS 377.710 (Definitions for ORS 377.700 to 377.844), which is portable in nature and which has been deposited, left or displayed on a state highway in violation of 377.650 (Personal property on state highway) may be removed and disposed of in the following manner:

(1)

Five days after written notice of the violation of ORS 377.650 (Personal property on state highway) is mailed or 24 hours after notice is delivered in person to the person owning or controlling the portable sign, the District Manager (DM) or Assistant District Manager (Asst. DM) may have the sign removed and may charge the owner for the cost of removal and storage. The sign shall be stored for 30 days and if the sign is not claimed within 30 days, it may be sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of.

(2)

If the portable sign is determined by the DM or Asst. DM to create a traffic hazard, (e.g., signs on the paved portion of a highway or gravel shoulder, or signs placed upon state highway signs or appurtenances), the five day advance written notice need not be made but notice is to be made within 24 hours after removal.

(3)

If the owner of the portable sign or person in control of the sign is not readily identified, by the sign itself or by contacting adjacent property owners, the sign may be removed immediately without notice. However, notice should be made upon subsequent identification of the sign owner.
