(A) Signs imitating warning signals. No sign shall display intermittent lights resembling the flashing lights customarily used in traffic signals or in police, fire, ambulance or rescue vehicles, nor shall any sign use the words “stop”, “danger” or any other word, phrase, symbol or character in a manner that might mislead or confuse an automobile or other vehicle driver.
(B) Illegal signs. No sign is permitted which does not meet the requirements of this chapter or which cannot be demonstrated by the owner to have legal non-conforming status to the satisfaction of the village.
(C) Signs within street rights-of-way. Except as herein provided, no sign shall be placed in any public right-of-way except publicly-owned signs, including, but not limited to, traffic-control signs and directional signs.
