How come they can do all the sign waving every year, but it's illegal to they for the rest of us to sell stuff on the side of road ??????? Oh i forgot, the politians make the laws for the rest of us to obey.

I'm no lawyer, but I imagine that like campaign signs and unlike commerce, roadside waving would probably fall under free speech.

Anyone wants to stand on the side of the road and wave is free to do so.
By the way:
Angel Pilago has asked his sign wavers to not sign wave on election day Saturday. He thinks it better to just let people vote and be respectful of that.

Check with Karen. I believe my statement is correct and current.

I would think there is a state law that would prohibit stopping along a state highway in the R/W for any thing other then an emergence is illegal.

To the best of my knowledge pedestrians always have the right of way. Stopping or parking a car in places might be what you refer to Scott.
Obviously there are suicidal locations which are unsafe. What we are talking about here is simply free speech. Pin the tail on the Donkey is perfectly legal but I wouldn't encourage playing at the top of a cliff.
To those who don't like the political signs and waving: It's too bad democracy is messy isn't it?

I kinda feel that the sign waving is part of what makes Hawaii Hawaii whomever the candidate.
it is quite charming, so just be aware while you drive by the sign wavers - might even have to put your cell phone down.
