The stop sign at the corner of B and West streets has been uncovered after a tree trimming so that drivers can see the sign from all angles.

Trees overtake stop signs
It’s kind of hard to abide by the law and halt at stop signs
that drivers can’t even see.
Plus, it can create a safety hazard when oncoming traffic
understands there’s a stop in order. So the city takes the covered
stop sign problem, when it arises, pretty seriously.
Trees overtake stop signs

It’s kind of hard to abide by the law and halt at stop signs that drivers can’t even see.

Plus, it can create a safety hazard when oncoming traffic understands there’s a stop in order. So the city takes the covered stop sign problem, when it arises, pretty seriously.

The two latest veiled signs reported to Public Works are at the intersection of Eastview Drive and Cienega Road, and at the intersection of Sunset and Highland drives. Both are residential areas.

Ray Rojas, a streets official for the city, said he will notify the parks department – which handles the tree trimming – to take care of the problems.

Rojas reiterated a previous point made to Public Works, that sometimes crews have to be careful when trimming certain trees, especially the saplings, because they can be damaged.
