Street Signs that Are Just too Small in Ridgewood & Glen Rock

IMG 5093 rotated e1677672235291

by Frank Geraghty

It clearly states that that this recommendation is just a guidance,not a requirement. This confusion can be eliminated by a much bigger sign placed on the right corner next to “DO NOT BLOCK” where motorists can read it.
