A. Any such sign shall be erected no earlier than eighty-eight days prior to the election and shall be removed within fifteen days after such election.

D. Portable or temporary A-frame signs are prohibited. V-shaped signs (two surfaces with two edges connected and the other two edges spread apart so that the faces read from different directions) are permitted subject to the criteria that they are supported with a maximum of three posts placed with an interior angle of not more than ninety degrees.

E. No political signs shall be attached and erected on public property or within the public right-of-way and shall not obstruct sight line visibility at intersections.
