Wind damaged highway signs

Question: The strong winds we had a couple of weeks ago seem to have bent over or even blown over many traffic signs and several big green interstate signs in the area.  Who is responsible for fixing the signs, the city or the state?

Answer: I spoke with David Thacker, public information officer for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s District 7, who says that the state has a contract for repairs to those signs.  He says that they won’t be replaced or repaired immediately but as soon as the contractor can get to them.
