§ 1027. Unauthorized signs, signals, or markings

• (a) No person shall place, maintain, or display upon or in view of any highway any unauthorized
  sign, signal, marking, or device that is an imitation of or resembles an official
  traffic-control device or railroad sign or signal or that attempts to direct the movement
  of traffic or that obscures or interferes with the effectiveness of an official traffic-control
  device or any railroad sign or signal. (b) No person shall place or maintain upon any highway, nor may any public authority permit
  upon any highway, any traffic sign or signal bearing thereon any commercial advertising,
  except as otherwise provided in 10 V.S.A. chapter 21. (c) This section shall not be deemed to prohibit the erection upon private property adjacent
  to highways of signs giving useful directional information and of a type that cannot
  be mistaken for official signs, nor shall this provision affect any right or obligation
  created or recognized under 10 V.S.A. chapter 21. (d) Every prohibited sign, signal, or marking is a public nuisance, and the Agency of
  Transportation may remove it or cause it to be removed without notice. (Added 1971, No. 258 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. March 1, 1973.)
