Anyone else get this kind of roadside junk in their area?

Occasionally political signs. Otherwise, usually, no.
Why the hell do you need two signs that say exactly the same things? You could just stack those additional messages on top of each other on a single sign.
You see those sprawl signs all over Delaware.
I do. And then I report them for littering, citing the rule against them that's often posted at intersections.
The intersection between VA-143 / Jefferson Ave. and VA-171 / Oyster Point Rd. is often littered with duplicate political signs near elections. (IIRC, it's the busiest at-grade intersection in the entire VA Peninsula)
Years and years ago, the home builders in the DFW area used to be really bad about the little signs everywhere all the time till the development was done. Now, you occasionally see them, but in short bursts of time, especially if there's an 'open house' type of wing-ding planned at one of the developments. The political ones are MUCH more irritating--more of them, and not quite the benefit that the home builder ones are. Even though there are local sign laws against leaving the election ones out after the election, some candidates still leave them anyway. Also, some towns around back in the day had bad cases of garage sale-type signs tacked onto telephone poles; now cities have more backbone and don't like seeing signs left on poles like that.
