Here's a couple of pics of a sign war that has gone on since the election. The first sign "Trump" went up during the campaign. The 2nd sign, "Turnip" went up just after the election. These are neighboring homes. Most folks think that the "Turnip" sign went up because the owner, a local sculptor, was tired of people thinking that the "Trump" sign was his. LOL
I am not posting this in any sense of political discussion, just a local humorous situation and "battling" neighbors that aren't yelling, swearing or suing each other. 🙂
If you look carefully you can see the "Turnip" sign poking out from behind the utility pole, just past the whale sculptor done by Benton the sculptor.
Those signs would have to go in Texas
No signs allowed inside r/w, must be on private land.

How can you tell the signs are inside in the ROW? They are outside the Pole Powers so they could be outside the right of way.
Those fences are a big tell.
Pay no attention to the fences. This highway was laid out in 1846, and is only a 50' ROW. I can't tell if they are in the ROW or not from my views, but hey, I've only been working around here for the last 3 1/2 decades, maybe it is obvious from TX 🙂 We don't get our panties all in a knot about signs anyway!

Do a lot of your local roads have a width established normally or do they have a statutory maintenance width like 3 rods (49.5') and are prescriptive?

The State will stop at your home and access a fine for each sign.
When I moved in my present home in 1987 I went to Home Depot and purchased a treated 10ft 4x4 and built a mini hitchin' post style mailbox.
Came home one day and it was gone and in its place was a metal sign post holding up my mailbox.
TxDot never did give me my 4x4 hitchin' post.
They rule what goes on inside their r/w.

Our roads are laid out by the towns, and voted on at town meetings, unless it's a state highway. The picture shows Rte 6A which is a state highway, and was laid out many times over the years. Jokingly I said 1846, but actually it's much older than that. There are portions that were abandoned in 1846 and realigned.
But to answer your question, our roads are laid out by a specific width, we don't have a statutory width. I have a road that was laid out in 1712 at 40' that widens to 50' after it crosses a "crick."
