Right-of-way <br /> City ordinance prohibits the placement of signs in the public right-of-way. The right-of-way refers to a <br /> strip of land which is used as a transportation corridor. The land is acquired as an easement or in fee, <br /> either by agreement or condemnation. <br /> The actual width/location of a right-of-way varies and depends on the actual street. For example,School <br /> Street near Parker Elementary has a width of approximately 75' and 120'. At the 75'width,there is no <br /> right-of-way behind the sidewalk but at the 120'width there is about 20' of right-of-way on the south <br /> side. <br /> A typical residential street has a 60' right-of-way with 15' of landscaped area on each side of the 30'wide <br /> street. <br /> ork <br /> r <br /> Background and Enforcement <br /> The purpose of signage is to attract attention and to promote a good or service. As such,the placement <br /> of signs is often just as important as the message it is trying to convey. Most cities,however,regulate the <br /> placement of signage as a means to not only control visual aesthetics but to ensure that signs do not <br /> create public safety concerns by blocking site lines, creating distractions or generating litter.
