From Woodinville, Washington:

Last January, Woodinville passed a sign regulation ordinance banning human sign holders on city streets. The city says it could be a potentially dangerous distraction for drivers.

Considering a sign walker to be a 'potentially dangerous distraction' is one of the most common excuses made by local law makers and police municipalities to remove a sign walker. It's too bad this is a completely unfounded and down right silly argument And unfortunately for everyone involved, fallacious arguments such as this one hurt the city as a whole.
