Albany - - You see them on streets all over town, but many signs in front of businesses and homes are placed there illegally.

Now officers are cracking down.

Some of those signs belong to candidates running for office. Friday, code enforcers removed signs from rights of way close to roads.

You're not supposed to put signs there and code enforcers are actively enforcing the law.   In the past two weeks, officers have removed more than 100 illegal signs.

Later this month, city commissioners plan to review the city ordinance on signs, possibly making it tougher.
