Last night, while sitting in slow moving traffic along 101, I noticed someone standing by the side of the road, waving what, from a distance, appeared to be a large sign. Of course we have all seen those poor souls promoting apartments or housing developments, but I thought it was a little strange (and probably illegal) for someone to be doing it on the side...
