    Default Is it Legal to Post Signs on Electrical Poles

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: NJ

    If I posted signs up on the electrical poles around town **(for the purpose of finding a babysitting or dog walking job)** is it legal or illegal to do so?

    It is not a civil rights issue but this will wind up plopped in the appropriate place.

    Whether it is or is not legal can depend on state law and even county/city ordinances.

    what did the owner of the poles say when you asked them if you could post a sign on their poles?

    You have possibly local ordinances about posting bills. Then comes the permission of the pole owner. Believe me, I used to legitimately hang stuff on poles in Newark, I needed both an ordinance passed by the Newark City Council and to pay NJ Bell or the privs. Street / traffic signs are right out.

    New Jersey State Statute 27:5-9 prohibits the placing of signs (political or otherwise) on public utility poles. In addition, Section 27:5-23 states “It shall be the duty of all departments of State or local government and all county and municipal officers charged with the enforcement of State and municipal laws under the direction of the commissioner to assist in the enforcement of the previsions of this act and the orders issuer or rules or regulations adopted pursuant to this act…the Chief of Police of an municipality are authorized and charged under the direction of the commissioner to enforce the provision of this act and any rules or regulations adopted pursuant thereto”

    NJSA Section 27:5-16 prescribes penalties ranging from $50 to $500 for each offense. Each day of the violation may be deemed to be a separate offense.
