Letter: Thank you for reminder about signs on right of ways

Vicky Pike writes:
Thank you for posting the article from the Kentucky Transportation Department on illegally placed signs being removed. Signs posted on the right of way slow up the mowing process and block drivers view when turning at intersections.

If you need to put a sign up please do it with the permission of the adjoining landowner where it is far enough back that it doesn't hinder mowing crews and block the view of oncoming traffic. We have enough accidents as it is. Dont put a sign that could block a drivers view. It's just common sense.
