   (A)   Unless otherwise provided for in this article, the following signs are expressly prohibited:

      (1)   Any sign which constitutes a traffic hazard by reason of size, location, design or illumination or which is likely to interfere with, obstruct the view of, or be confused with any authorized traffic sign, signal or device;

      (4)   Moving, rotating or animated signs;

      (5)   Searchlights;

      (6)   Signs with flashing lights;

      (7)   Trailer-type portable signs, excluding signs placed by the village, county, or state for public health or safety purposes;

      (8)   Pennants, streamers, spinners, propellors, balloons, inflatable shapes;

      (14)   Vehicle signs, permanent: no vehicles bearing permanently affixed signs shall be parked on public right-of-way, public property or private property for a period which exceeds three days. All vehicles displaying permanently affixed signs shall be currently licensed, operable, parked on the property of the business owning or leasing the vehicle, and in the parking area furthest from any street right-of-way, so as to minimize the effects of additional signage on the property, except for vehicles actively in transport, or in the specific act of receiving or delivering merchandise or rendering a service;

      (15)   Roof signs;

      (16)   Snipe signs;

      (17)   Outline lighting; and

   (B)   Signs not listed in §§ 16-6-5 through 16-6-8 shall be deemed to be prohibited, even though such signs are not specifically listed in § 16-6-8(A).

   (C)   Obscenity prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any person to display upon any sign or other advertising structure any matter in writing or in picture, which, considered as a whole, predominantly appeals to prurient interest, that is, a shameful or morbid interest in nudity, sex or excretion, and goes substantially beyond customary limits of candor in description or representation of such matters.
