Dangerous Curves.

All sign stands or obstructions of any kind must at once be removed from the public highways or rights of way in and about San Diego, Cal., by virtue of an ordinance passed by the county board of supervisors. After listening to specific instances of the placing of advertising signs in such a way that they obstructed the motorist's view of dangerous curves and thereby menaced those who use the highways the supervisors agreed that the practice should be stopped immediately.

The new ordinance will affect the placing of advertising signs on county highway bridges or over the highways at any point. It also will force the vendors of fruit or other produce along the county roads to keep their stands away from the highways and off the right of way.
