Candidate of Upcoming Munlclpal Election
Rel
Placement of Election Signa AdJacent to a Provlnclal Hlghway System
These documents are for information purposes due to the upcoming Municipal Election on
October 27,2014 providing guidelines on eleclion sign placement.
The Ministry does allow the placing of election signs adjacent to provincial highways; however,
sign placement is subject to the attached Election Sign Policy.
To avoid confusion on the part of candidates and volunteers/workers, I would ask that you
please provide appropriate staff with this information. Signs placed in contravention of Ministry
policy will be removed.
lf further clarification is required, please feel free to contact the appropriate Corridor
Management Officer in your area, as outlined in the attached Areas of Responsibility.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Yours truly,
Jri /-t/L/.-:.

Election Sign Policy
Underthe authority of the Public Transportation and Hiqhway lmorovement Act the Ministry
through the issuance of a permit controls all visible signing upon or within 400 metres of the
provincial highway right-of-way.
Election signs placed by, or on behalf of, a candidate or a political party and signs designed to
encourâge citizens to vote must follow these restrictions governing election signs that are visible
from a provincial highway system.
1.
An election sign must not be placed upon or adjacent to the right-of-way of a Class 1 Freeway or a Class 2 - Staged Freeway (i.e. Hwy 401,115, etc). See attached typical
diagram for freeway/staged freeway interchange election sign placement.
2.
Election signs may be erected on the right-of-way or adjacent to a Special Controlled
Access, Major or Minor Highway (i.e, Hwy 7, Hwy 35) after an official electlon has been
lssued or for municipal elections in accordance with any By-Law outlining a time frame for
the placement of municipal election campaign signs.
3.
Signs up to 0.7 m'(8 sq. ft.) in size must be placed at least 4 m (12 ft.) from edge of
pavement. Signs over 0.7 m2 18 sq. ft.) and up to 3.7 m2 140 sq. ft.) must be placed at the
buter limit of the right-of-way (i.e. fence line). Election signs must not exceed 3J mz (40 sq.
fr.).
4. An 'election
sign" must not be affixed to a permanent or an official sign or to guide rail or
other highway structure or facility and must not be placed where it may interfere with
visibility, an official sign, traffic signal, or other safety device.
5.
Portable read-ograph sign trailers must not be placed upon ã provincial highway right-ofway. Portable read-o-graph sign trailers may be utilized providing they are erected on
private property that is zoned commercial and meets all the requirements of the ministry for
portable read-ograph signing.
6.
A Sign Permit or a Letter of Approval for any signs erected under these instructions is not
required.
7.
Election signs must be removed from the Ministry righþof-way and adjacent properties
within three (3) working days after Election Day.
8. Signs not retrieved by this time will be picked up by the Ministry patrolforces and stored in a
safe place (patrol yard, etc.,) for a period of two weeks. After this time they will be disposed
of.
Please contact a Coridor Management Officer in your eree, with the telephone numbers
provided below, to obtain additional information. Thank you for your co-operation.
