I get signs telling you there’s a bump ahead, or deer might run out in front of you, but I’ve never understood why there are signs telling people not to build unlawful driveways. Are that many people doing it on a daily basis in that area that they need a fully visible sign? Surely it’s just an ordinance, why does it need a road sign?

I’ve been wondering this for years and hope someone has an answer that makes sense.

    There’s is a road allowance between the edge of the road and the edge of your property. In our case is about 20 feet wide. You’re not allowed to build on that road allowance. We also have a deep ditch that requires a culvert and several loads of gravel.
