Ohmigosh! Who authorized the hideous, huge, schoolbus-yellow street signs at almost every intersection along Ga. Highway 54?
Our county and city leaders have spent many hours on discussion of signage legislation so that our roads won’t look like Riverdale, and local businesses have spent a lot of money complying with the sign laws.
