It's garage sale season, but utility poles are not bulletin boards. While a power pole might seem like a convenient place to post a sign, it is actually critical electrical infrastructure that utility crews rely on to safely maintain and repair the power system. Nails, staples, tacks, and posted signs can create hazards for lineworkers, interfere with maintenance work, and increase the risk of injury when crews climb poles or handle equipment. Help protect utility workers and support safe, reliable service by keeping power poles free of signs, advertisements, staples, nails, and other attachments.
