Fliers from Commerical Companies

What really irritates me is the "road spam", the pollution of our roads, with plastic signs for karate, mortgages, carpet stretching, we buy homes, etc. etc.

Those I can't throw away as T8 suggests. But what I can do, is spend those hours in traffic calling each one on my cell phone, and giving them a piece of my mind. A great vetting opportunity! I encourage everyone to join me.

 

There should be fines for putting signs on public property, etc.

But yeah, it looks so trashy to see them all over

 

Actually, Loudoun County law prohibits all such signs. The problem is that we don't have enough people in the sheriff's dept to crack down on the offenders.

Its getting as bad as Fairfax County in some areas.

Of course, last year around this time, we had a Supervisor who openly violated the law by putting signs around advocating a tax rate of 99 cents. Of course, he didn't do it personally, it was his overzealous supporters.

Speaking of the road signs, I was driving south on Belmont Ridge from Route 7 two days ago, and there is a huge sign (probably 3 feet by 5 feet) on the right side of the road that says something like "Almost There"- it was an advertisement for the Original Steak House. If memory serves me, I believe the sign was prior to Luck Stone (I was only imagining how many signs they were going to have to put up to walk you in from there). Also, it looked more than temporary, it was on metal stakes in the ground. It was nasty.
