The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) is reminding the public that installation of signs visible from state highways that do not fall under the exempted categories defined in Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes Chapter 264, Part V is unlawful.

This includes, but is not limited to posting of political campaign signs on overpasses, fencing, signposts and poles.

Illegally placed signs will be removed.

Sign owners may contact the Highway Maintenance Hotlines to check if their signs are available for pick up; however, HDOT generally disposes of unclaimed signs after 15 calendar days.

Campaign supporters are also encouraged to be mindful of safety as they sign wave in areas near busy highways. They are urged to use caution when exiting and reentering traffic.

To report an illegally placed sign, contact the following Highways Maintenance Hotlines and follow the voice prompts:

  • O‘ahu: (808) 831-6714 or email complaintshighwayoahu@hawaii.gov
  • Hawai‘i Island: (808) 933-8866
  • Maui: (808) 873-3535
  • Kauai: (808) 241-3000

Applicable statutes and rules include:
