Anyone know how much it costs to adopt a highway?

If it wasn't too expensive, it would be a helluva way to get a message out there...you form a corporation called IMPEACH THE CHIMP, or TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ and they put up a sign saying that...

1. I wasn't aware it cost anything...

Civic groups typically adopt highways and pick up the litter themselves (or so I was led to believe).

2. That was my understanding, as well

3. Not one red cent - just your time and effort.

4. The link is to adoption-for-hire

The link the poster provided is for a company that helps corporations adopt highways. The corporation pays money to the middle-man, the middle-man hires workers to clean the road, and the corporation gets sponsorship rights to the sign.
