The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is calling on the general public to report road right-of-way (RROW) violations, specifically signs with road messages and advertisements installed or displayed within RROW.

The call was made after recent reports of unauthorized gantry signs installed within the RROW of national roads. These road obstructions are prohibited pursuant to the provisions of Section 23 of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 17, also known as the Revised Philippine Highway Act and the National Building Code of the Philippines (PD No. 1096).
