If they ban the signs then they would be taking away someones income and jobs are so hard to find and get right now. Some people do what they have to just to survive right now. I don't see anything wrong with having these signs. We have had them for some time now and how many accidents have there been because of the signs none that I have read about. I say let them stay.

I agree with Rhonda....what a goofy thing for the City to be spending time on....
If the drivers aren't paying attention to their driving...that's their fault.

If the sign flippers are that big of a distraction let the kids drive then.. some folks are just never happy.. ive passed sign flippers and i havnt wrecked.

Never notice them. Too busy texting.

Personally, I don't see the need for such a ban. I wouldn't think that person flipping a sign would cause an accident. The time it takes to read the advertisement is no more than a couple of seconds. Furthermore, it will put even more people out of work in an already weakened economy.

The sign flippers are usually at or near intersections and they aren't a distraction to me. I enjoy watching them perform while I wait at these endlessly long traffic signals. I think the city should have to pay unemployment compensation if they cause them to lose their jobs!

Good Lord get a life!

Are tax money hard at work!

That's "our" not "are" but I completely agree with you. There is no need to waste time on this issue. You brought it up fine. If there is a wreck and a sign flipper is found to be to blame, somehow, indemnify the city from being sued and move on to more important business.

when is it going to stop. read between the lines if they stop the sign flipers then they will go after evey sign for sale signs in cars,houses and yard sales, pepole need to standup and say leave us alone.

I suspect that this is a step toward "licensing" Sign Flippers and, thus, be able to charge a fee for the license...

The good news is that Sign Flippers distract drivers from texting while driving...

I don't see anything wrong with sign flippers. It is great entertainment at intersections when you are waiting at a long red light.

You all are missing the point. Ever had one of them lose control of a sign and throw it on your car or out in front of your car in traffic? Ever had to swerve into the lane fo traffic beside you because a flipper stepped into your lane to catch his or her sign? That's the distraction. They often don't stand far enough back from traffic in order not to be a hazard.
