It's intrusive and distracting. Free speech, yes. But you can't scream "fire" in a theater when there is none and call it "free speech". The county should also consider banning vehicles flying 60 square foot flags with the F word and other flags that are a greater safety hazard than lawn signs.

Kevin Crabtree

Hmm never seen a sign saying fire A lot of stuff offends me too but I just am smart enough to ignore it.

Eric Chandler

It was stated last year to take them because they can be an extraction but nothing was done about!

barb gahr

Clutter and distracting.

sandra zollman

So are yard sales signs but no one complains about them. It doesn't last that long. Good grief, barking dogs are much more annoying.

Kat Johnson

The signs are very distracting which creates a safety hazard.

Rick Allen

Distracted driving and can also cause anger driving.

Glenda McCarn

Makes it hard to see when driving by them.

Gabe West

Don't put out a biden 2024 sign it might cause a reck

You can't even spell wreck. Such an embarrassment. I am so looking forward to Biden winning just to watch you unravel.

Debra Sun-Mills

Why do watch KTVZ if you so dislike it? Watch Central Oregon News. It's much more liberal.

Rick Allen

That is a very bad thing, not good!!!

CRR LAND

Having a sign on my property is a constitutionally protected activity freedom of speech. If my son hurts your feelings that's your problem Karen!

Kevin Crabtree

Hmmm My Property has actually 2 right of ways on it I still own it pay taxes on it for now but the City has already told me not to use it. I don't think this is what the poll is about but leave the guy alone you big bad Internet Bullies.

You don't know what a right of way is 😂

Ed Neumann

Karen - your yard is not a public right of way.

Ed Neumann

Karen - your yard is not a public right of way.

Ed Neumann

Not so. Can you scream "Fire" in a theater and call that free speech? Nonsense

SunnySunshinestein

The poll question is about having signs on right-of-way, it's highly unlikely your yard is considered right-of-way, Karen.

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

You're literally bumper to bumper from the Bill Healy bridge. The people from the Old Mill Never Cease coming.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

SUE ABERNATHY

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

sara kreps

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

Dave Krajczynski

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

Jeff Sanders

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

Latterdaysaint

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

Fletcher Jackson

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

Tim Walker

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
