Prohibited: No person shall park any motor vehicle or trailer on public or private property so as to be seen from the public right-of-way which has attached thereto or located thereon any sign for the purpose of advertising a product or directing people to a business activity, except in the course of normal business operations or as permitted as a free standing sign.
Prohibited: No flashing, blinking, rotating or flickering signs shall be permitted in any district.
Prohibited: No person shall park any motor vehicle or trailer on public or private property so as to be seen from the public right-of-way which has attached thereto or located thereon any sign for the purpose of advertising a product or directing people to a business activity, except in the course of normal business operations or as permitted as a free standing sign. This does not include customary and incidental use of signs or logos on commercial vehicles used as such in normal business operations.
Prohibited: Inflatable signs or advertising devices shall not be permitted.
Prohibited: Any device in the form of a sign advertising a product or directing people to a business activity which is temporary in nature, or mobile and not permanently affixed to a building or upright support shall be not allowed, except as permitted in the exception(s) for SPECIAL PURPOSE SIGNS.

No change: No signs shall be permitted in any Sublette County Road right-of-way other than signs maintained pursuant to and in discharge of any governmental functions.
The proposed sign regulation changes was discussed at the Thursday, August 19 P&Z meeting. At that time, the board decided to table their vote to give the public more time to be aware of the proposed changes. The P&Z board will vote on these proposed amendments at their next meeting on Thursday, September 16, at 6:30 PM in the Commissioners meeting room of the Sublette County Courthouse in Pinedale.
