Never before have the political lawn signs bothered me as much as they did this year. There were/are SO many littered everywhere that it makes our beautiful region look so trashy and gross. To the point where I felt it actually took away from our gorgeous foliage this year. As many of us know, nothing is more serene and majestic than cruising the back roads of New England and enjoying all of the bright colors. Peak Foliage season turns an otherwise boring, mundane, every day commute into a peaceful and pretty magical drive to work/school for hardly 1 month out of the year. Not when there are a million signs up & down every road though.

The ones that infuriate me the most are the massive clusters of 20 different signs on each corner of an intersection. As if anyone could even make out a damn thing in the jumbo mess of fonts, colors, and different sign sizes. What’s the point? If anything it’s not only ugly and trashy but very distracting.

me, driving down a peaceful windy back road: hey you know what I should do right now?! Try and read all 20 signs while I pass through this yellow blinking light intersection so I can decide who to vote for based off who’s campaign colors I like the best!!!

Many states have outlawed billboards for exactly this same reason.

I wonder how successful that effort would be regarding political signs...
