I wonder why the federal highway officials deem the NY signs "unsafe." They're mounted on steel supports just as many other signs on highways. Given some of the dangerous and stupid stuff I've seen on interstate highways across our country, I'm surprised this is an issue.

Every state has tourism industries that benefit their economies. Signs and advertisements help to encourage tourism. What's up with this story?
