Well, there’s a little dust-up over last week’s Red Phone regarding the “children at play” sign snafu, as you can read …
“Dear Red Phone: The answer you received from the Morgan Hill Captain is wrong. The section he is referring to pertains to dumping or throwing objects from a moving vehicle upon the highway, i.e glass, bottles or any substance that will cause or likely cause injuries. By placing one of those little yellow signs near the curb is not an obstruction. I worked as a police officer for over 20 years and know the vehicle code well enough to say there is no violation unless it’s placed in the middle of the roadway, then your obstructing traffic.”
Dear reader,
Red Phone pondered the situation all night and finally broke through the mental obstruction – how about the neighbors go out and hire attorneys to argue the matter in court and take a second mortgage on their homes to pay for it … or one neighbor could walk over to the other’s house, ring the bell and offer to just talk it through while remembering the adage, “God gave you two ears and one mouth, therefore you should listen twice as much as you talk.”
