This is a very common occurance unfortunately, ALL businesses need to have a checks and balance, business is business not the honor system.
This woman was obviously trusted, those are the ones that get you the worst. Don't wait until it's too late, Someone needs to be checking the checker!

Paul,
Yesco has a really nice old sign truck in their Las Vegas office. Model T I believe.

I would agree with the city on this issue. The few new signs I have seen with this new technology are way too bright and can ruin the night vision of drivers. In addition the moving images can distract them from the road and concentrating on driving. I would advocate a middle of the road solution by limiting the size and lumen output of these signs.

We love our 55'-60' Elliotts (3) but our "others" are a 118' Manitex and a couple of 42' Altek buckets.

Video signs distracting to drivers
Township may amend ordinance to prohibit them

Fenton Twp. — Township officials are considering a proposed amendment for its sign regulation ordinance, which focuses on digital signs. If the proposed ordinance amendment were adopted, full-motion video signs would be prohibited. The township board is also considering the addition of a few provisions to the ordinance.
If adopted, the ordinance says that digital signs in residential or agricultural zoning districts or within 1,000 feet of a residential district would have to be turned off from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., and signs cannot use red as the predominant color in their display. At a distance, the use of red could be confused with emergency lights.
If adopted, the light intensity of digital signs must be automatically reduced at night to compensate for the greater contrast created by the reduction in background lighting.
The frequency of changes in displays would have to be limited to not more than once every minute in commercially-zoned districts and not more than once every hour in residential or agricultural areas. Displays and transitions between displays cannot include any flashing or moving text or graphics.
The limitation on the frequency of sign changes does not apply to signs or portions of signs displaying time and temperature.
When asked about the illuminated digital sign, which displays bright red lights, at Lake Fenton High School, John Tucker, treasurer and chairman of the Planning Commission said, “That sign lives in a world of its own.”
Tucker said the township does not have authority over the sign, however, it would be asking the district to consider turning the sign off, overnight.
Supervisor Bonnie Mathis said Lake Fenton school district is exempt from this ordinance and added that the township would speak to school officials about the sign. She said there have been complaints about the red lights used and the intensity of the lights.
Tucker said the underlying reason to prohibit the full-motion video signs; similar to the one along northbound I-75, near Bristol Road, and the addition of several provisions, is that these types of signs could be too distracting to motorists. “That digital sign (on I-75) catches your eye. It’s very dangerous and not good for driving.”
Lake Fenton Community Schools Superintendent Ralph Coaster said, “We have always worked together with the township and would certainly consider a voluntary compliance.”
A second reading of the proposed ordinance will be held on Monday, Dec. 21, at which time the board is expected to take action.

We are at the very end in an industrial park so not a great place to display our talent. We show off by taking the customers through our 18,000 sq. ft. plant and seeing many other signs in process.
