It shall be lawful to place political signs on private property with permission of the owner or person in charge of the property at any time during the period beginning forty-five days before the date of the election to which the signs pertain and ending on the day of the election, even if such placement would otherwise be a violation of this chapter. This section shall not be construed to authorize placement of any political sign at any location where it may, because of its size, location, content or coloring constitute a traffic hazard or a detriment to traffic safety by obstructing the vision of drivers, by detracting from the visibility of any traffic-control device or by being confused with an authorized traffic-control device. The exemption from provisions of this chapter granted by this section for political signs shall expire on the seventh day following the date of the election to which the signs pertain. A municipal corporation shall adopt no ordinance which prohibits the placement of political signs on private property as permitted by this section during the period beginning twenty-one days before the date of the election to which the signs pertain, nor requires removal of the political signs so placed less than seven days after the date of that election.
