number and size of the signs you can use, as well as the time they can be
posted:
• Only
one sign is allowed on the lot where the sale is located and one on different
private property with the owner’s permission. Don’t put signs on utility
poles, in medians or on road sides (public rights of way).
• Size
limit is 4 square feet and 42 inches high;

Move
Right for Sirens and Lights
When the police or fire department is
called to an emergency, it is important that they respond quickly and safely.
If you are driving down the road and
see the lights of an emergency vehicle in your rearview mirror, move to the
right and stop to allow the vehicle to move easily down the road. Once emergency
vehicles have passed, merge back into traffic when it is safe to do so.
Do your part as a driver to help
police officers and fire fighters get their job done quickly and safely. And
remember: It’s the law.
