Advertisements (Personal Signs) on Yield Signs, etc

Are they attached to the actual triangle or just the pole? Maybe make a phone call to the cops; otherwise I wouldn't risk irking the kind of people who are desperate enough to advertise on traffic signs or to make a living tying fliers on street signs.

 

I wish I had the amount of free time you did....

 

I don't see how this affects you and more importantly why you care so much.

BURN EVERYTHING TO THE ****ING GROUND

 

Despite all of the people making light of it, I get where you are coming from with the urge to pull them down.

I do some work for banks, and the same 2 shamless @sshole businesses drive all around town and attach advertisements for their bouncy castle rental business or used appliance business to ATM's all around Houston. They have no relationship with the bank,

I remove these ads as part of my job, but by the time I have to return to the site (usually a couple of days), a new version of the ad has been taped to the ATM in its place. There is sort of a very overt and extremely casual disregard for property rights that grates on my nerves. Kids put up graffitti, but while it can be annoying, itdoesn't bother me so much because kids are stupid and don't know better. People who own businesses presumably have a better grasp of what they are actually doing, but just don't care.

If you do pull them down, prepare for the possible frustration of seeing them right back up.

I'd be worried about the cops seeing you and thinking you were putting them up and wanting to write you a ticket, or having the people who put them up see you and have the temerity to get pissed off at you.

But attaching ads to traffic signs is absolutely against the law so (though I'm not a legal expert of any kind) I have trouble seeing how you could get in any real trouble. Just dont be surprised if the ad comes right back up.

 

Take the pole down.

Then spam the business that's advertising themselves shamelessly.
