Victoria Pike cites reasons for not keeping signs off rights of way They're illegal, unsightly, and pose safety hazards, she notes Comments re article 59813 Illegally placed signs will be removed By Victoria Pike Editorial commentary Thanks you so much for posting this article. Signs are most definitely illegal on state right of way. I do not understand why people want to litter the landscape with unsightly signs especially at intersections where it blocks the view of drivers. It also distracts them from what they should be doing, watching for oncoming traffic. Most put them up and never return to get them or break the post off when they can't pull them up and leave them for the mowing crew to stick through some very expensive tractor tires. We have one of the finest crews in the state and we don't need to be causing them unnecessary breakdowns and time lost removing these signs. Some people feel because they pay taxes that they can stick a sign up anywhere they want to. Not true. This law applies to ALL. So please help keep our community looking nice. If you must put a sign up, be courteous and ask first if you can put a sign up off the right of way on the property of someone who doesn't mind it being there. Once your event is over, promptly take it down. Same applies to your trash, when hauling any type, it is your duty to keep it confined to your truck or trailer. Most roads have signs posted $500 fine for littering. As I have stressed many times before, we never know when our community is being looked at for further development. Please do all you can to keep it clean. --Victoria Pike This story was posted on 2013-05-29 12:54:12
