§ 152.442 MISCELLANEOUS RESTRICTIONS AND PROHIBITIONS.
   (A)   As provided in the table of permissible uses, off-premises signs (except those exempted from regulation or from permit requirements under §§ 152.432 or 152.433) may not be located in any residential district.
   (B)   No sign may be located so that it substantially interferes with the view necessary for motorists to proceed safely through intersections, or to enter onto or exit from public streets or private roads.
   (C)   Signs that revolve or are animated or that utilize movement or apparent movement to attract the attention of the public are prohibited. Without limiting the foregoing, banners, streamers, animated display boards, pennants, and propellers are prohibited, but signs that only move occasionally because of wind are not prohibited if their movement is not a primary design feature of the sign, and is not intended to attract attention to the sign. The restriction of this division (C) shall not apply to signs specified in § 152.432, or to signs indicating the time, date, or weather conditions.
   (D)   Portable signs, defined as any sign designed or intended to be readily relocated, including signs on wheels, trailers, truck-beds, a-frames or any other device which is capable of or intended to be moved from one location to another, are prohibited, except to the extent they are permissible under §§ 152.432 or 152.433.
   (E)   No sign may be erected so that by its location, color, size, shape, nature, or message it would tend to obstruct the view of or be confused with official traffic signs or other signs erected by governmental agencies.
   (F)   Freestanding signs shall be securely fastened to the ground or to some other substantial supportive structure so that there is virtually no danger that either sign or the supportive structure may be moved by the wind or other forces of nature and cause injury to persons or property.
