Road side signs are an eyesore

Maybe it’s not so much that people don’t agree with your point of view, but more an issue that road side signs are an eyesore.

Travelling down 15/501 from North Chatham to Pittsboro, we are assailed with signs for karate shops, pro and con political messages, houses for sale, Legend Oaks, Briar Chapel, those running for political offices and on and on.  Then when the mowers come through, the signs are swept into the blades and shredded, thus adding more garbage to the already littered highways.

I’m curious.  I assume we have a “right” to post signage on our own property, but do we also have “rights” to do so on public land?
