Title: Autistic, deaf, and handicapped child signs
Post by: J Route Z on January 31, 2016, 02:19:59 AM
Do these signs eventually get removed when the "child" gets older? One street near me has a sign posted forever it seems.

They violate HIPAA, can't imagine why they are still up.

Such signs are not in MUTCD and is recommended that such signs not be erected.

And it's not like the DOT has a database of such people and will come secretly in the middle of the night to install the signs, it's usually the parents that request the sign to be placed.
