Sign Ordinances? What Sign Ordinances?
According to Ellen Hueffner, this is not really a three-sided sign that can be easily spotted from 1000 yards – – It's really just an innocent, but street-legal, trailer which can be moved from parking spot to parking spot all day long? In front of your store? Down the street? In transit around the block all day long. They’ll create the full color fade resistant display which fits this trailer sign.
