All,
Here's some updated information in regards to campaign signage:
Where to Place Campaign Signs
1. Place signs only on private property with the permission of the owner.
2. Do not place signs:
- on public property
- on utility poles
- **between a public road and a sidewalk ******NO LONGER IS APPLICABLE******
- **within six feet of a public road that does not have a sidewalk ******NO LONGER IS APPLICABLE*****
- where they would interfere with sight distances at intersections
West Windsor Township Code: 200-152(B)1
Sign types and standards.
Temporary noncommercial, including political signs. Noncommercial signs, including but not limited to political signs which are temporary in nature, shall be permitted in all districts. Temporary noncommercial signs are those which are not permanently affixed to the ground, a building or other permanent structure on the property and not intended to be permanent in time. Temporary noncommercial signs shall not exceed 16 square feet (no side of any signs shall be more than six feet in any linear dimension) in residential zones and 32 square feet in nonresidential zones. Temporary political signs associated with an election shall be removed no later than seven days after the election. Site plan approval shall not be required for the placement of temporary noncommercial signs.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on sign placements contact Sam Surtees at (609) 799-2400 or

**Lastly, unfortunately for anyone thinking of stealing any of campaign signs, the statute for Theft still remains the same (N.J.S.A. 2C:20-3). Like we were taught in kindergarten, if it doesn't belong to you, don't take it!**
