(A) It shall be unlawful to place any highway obstruction, including a driveway headwall, fence, rural mailbox, newspaper delivery box, or other roadside obstruction, so as to interfere with the traffic or maintenance of the road right-of-ways within the village. Only mailboxes and/or newspaper delivery boxes with non-rigid type posts, such as 4" x 4" wooden or small diameter metal type, are permitted. This policy prohibits the location within the right-of-way of any brick columns or mailboxes and/or newspaper delivery boxes on rigid stands such as block, stone, or any other type determined to be a traffic hazard.
(B) The failure of the person responsible for placing the unlawful obstruction within the right-of-way to remove the obstruction within 90 days after written notice by the village shall result in penalty as provided in § 10.99. In addition, failure to remove or make safe any mailbox and/or newspaper delivery box, its supports or any other obstruction within the above-specified 90 days shall be cause for the village to take action to remove the unacceptable mailbox and/or newspaper delivery box, its supports or other obstruction installation and also bill the responsible party for the expense of removal if appropriate.
