I am getting more and more annoyed with the Davis Realtor crowd. They seem to think that they can place signs anywhere they want to promote their sales. Here are some examples I took today, including one sign by Mona DeMasi that forced a couple of kids further into the path of a car while the kids were trying to ride around a circle.

To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis

I think you're right to have contacted the police and the sign owners. You're always welcome to send a letter to the editor, if the issue persists, as that sometime gets results, at http://www.davisenterprise.com/forms_submitletter.php Yet another route: bend the ear of our columnist, Bob Dunning, at dunning@davisenterprise.net.

Update – for those not reading twitter – I did send a message to the Davis Police and also to some of the realtors involved to see if they do anything …

In my own opinion, I think different real estate signs or all other advertisement signs from companies must be placed in proper places to avoid road accidents. Up to now, there are still accidents due to these signs and I also can't help but wonder why the local government hasn't done their action on this.
In New York, most of the signs are placed properly and they have stainless steel sign bracket and stainless steel strap to provide protection and for it to be stable.
