I was confused by that, too, when I ran for office. So, I called my town's highway department and the NH DOT to clarify it.

You may not place signs on highway ramps, at traffic circles, and other state-maintained roads, intersections, etc. You may place signs on town maintained roads and other public areas - but be careful not to place signs near memorials, cemeteries, and public parks - people don't take kindly to that (and I'm one of them!)

Here's my rant:
We have a war memorial in the center of Alton on Main Street, by the town hall, Monument Square. I'm sure many of you have seen it. My pet peeve is when candidates use that for a place to park their signs. It's cheap, thoughtless, and disrespectful to our men and women who served and died - and to their families. It's an area that should be non-partisan, non-political, and no advertising of any kind should be allowed there.
