AMC Section 6.26.030 prohibits displaying, placing, or posting garage sale signs on telephone poles, traffic signals, street signs, street lights, or city trees. AMC Section 4.04.130 further prohibits placing any sign in the public right-of-way. Signs on private property are permitted only during the quarterly garage sale dates (first full weekend of March, June, September, December).
