I have taken pictures of political sign locations recently in Red Deer to illustrate a concern
Two of the pictures show political signs right at the bypass curve of the intersection, at Ross Street and 30th Avenue, for right hand turns. You couldn’t pick a worst place as this is a high-accident corner.
The third picture is on 67th Street just before it turns to 30th Avenue, on the north side of the road. There are six large signs in a row about two feet apart and real good for rubber-neck drivers to get distracted from traffic and have an accident. These signs are parallel to the road.
Like we don’t have enough traffic accidents in the city yet and have to create more areas for people to smash up or hit a child on a bike.
It would be unbelievable to have politicians with the foresight to not use these tactics and locations.
