Letter: Clearway signs in No Stopping zones along Princes Highway and Tom Uglys Bridge ''overkill''

The number of articles and photos appearing in the Leader in the past few weeks has shown the lack of common sense in the tree trimming under power wires department.

Driving south from Blakehurst on the Princes Highway this week shows another example of stupidity, this time from the Roads and Maritime Services department.

Why is it necessary to attach new bright yellow clearway signs on "No Stopping signs" all along the roadway? Wouldn't "no stopping" mean no "stopping" any time?

I can only think that the contractors putting up the signs get paid per sign, a bit like the $100 quoted to paint a white line on the road to delineate parking spots in Cronulla.

One blessing I suppose, is that the new clearway signs are only a garish yellow, and not hi-vis green.
