Subsection (B) caps how early signage can go up: no sign may be exhibited more than two days before the sale is scheduled to commence, and every sign must be removed at the close of the sale.
070(I) of the zoning code, which bars placing any such sign in the public right-of-way, meaning garage-sale signs cannot be staked in street medians, along curbs, or on utility poles within the right-of-way regardless of size. 44 garage-sale permit scheme, so a sign displayed without an underlying valid permit, or a sign advertising an unpermitted sale, is also exposed to the chapter's general violation provision.
