Where would it be illegal to place a real estate sign in Delaware?

The placement of a real estate sign on the side of a bus shelter that obstructs the view of the street is illegal because it creates a safety hazard and violates regulations concerning visibility for drivers and pedestrians. Such obstructions can impede traffic sightlines and lead to dangerous situations, which is why local ordinances typically prohibit signs that interfere with public safety. Proper sign placement must adhere to applicable zoning and traffic laws, ensuring that signs do not obstruct roadways or impede visibility for those using the roads or sidewalks.

In contrast, placing a sign on the subject property’s front lawn or in the window of a real estate office generally follows specific guidelines that are considered safe and compliant with local real estate regulations. Similarly, having a sign next to a public road, provided it is at least 10 feet from the pavement edge, adheres to these regulations. Hence, the focus on safety and visibility makes the placement of a sign that obstructs the view a clear violation.
