If a 15-foot sign, then why not a bright, flashing, animated 15-foot sign that stays on all night?

There are no existing codes on LED signs. Metro Planning Director attested to that himself in a meeting last year on the LED issue.

There are no existing codes on LED signs. That explains why a big flashing billboard can occupy a driver's field of vision on West End near Ted's Montana Grill and why a humongous Vegas-style streaming LED billboard can blind northbound traffic at the I-65/I-40 on the southwest corner of Downtown (although, these signs could also already be illegal).

There are no existing codes for LED signs. Any LED billboard, large or small is capable of static or animated, monochrome or multi-colored displays.

There are no existing codes for LED signs. And there are none in Michael Craddock's bill to permit Goodpasture Christian School its own commercialized LED billboard, which means that upon approval the school may display whatever it wants, whenever it wants, as brightly as it wants even though to do so may violate existing municipal laws.

Viva, Las Madison.
