I am totally against placement of portable signs where it would cause inconvenience and put people in danger. But come on.... a permit + decal + annual fee? Does it means if one pays for the fee, he/she is allowed to inconvenience others? My sign is on the lawn, I honest don't think it causes any danger to public. Furthermore a block away, a recycling firm has few sandwich boards out on the lawn warning people of trucks... I guess they will need permit to keep display those signs?
