The problem is it can become a traffic issue. I drove thru there ten times...coukd car less...hell, i agree with some of what they say. But when a complaint is generated from a,citizen...i cant just ignore it. Told them they could stand there all day...but the hanging signs on the fencing over the highway had to go...per city and state,code...

They pick tgese locations because they know it will cause an issue, thus drawing a police response...which is,the co,frontation they are looking for...

They pick these locations because of the exposure. I don't know of any of these people (on our side at least) trying to get into a confrontation with police.

I won’t be protesting on a bridge. The way people drive is the main reason of concern and not to freak out those good truck drivers. If anyone decides to do that, it’s your right, to do so (unless there are signs prohibiting pedestrians from being on that bridge).

Doesn't bother them a bit to have signs near a freeway if it's a government or business sign.

I realize there are some places that don't allow it.  I don't see a problem as long as nothing winds up in the roadway.

Drop something off a bridge in traffic, and you could cause some massive problems.

Imagine the Lefties that protest in Washington, D. C.  They'd probably toss their signs on the freeway when they were done.

Lets put up a sign on the new bay bridge to San Francisco, saying... “guess how long before this bridge built by democrats and communist china’s crappy steel collapses?”

The poll must have “moved on” at Midnight CDT...it is now about the “O’Hare Bypass”.

There’s a state law here saying that no signs can be placed over any highway.But then,this is Massachusetts...a state where the First and Second Amendments only apply to “progressives”.

Or,if your bridge is anything like our Massachusetts Turnpike,the sign could be "guess how many times your tolls will pay for this bridge over its lifetime?"

Have mixed thinking about this (notice I didn’t say feelings). While I like the idea of signs that reach more people, I don’t like drivers being distracted.
