Default Yard Sale/Garage Sale Signs

I love going to garage/yard sales.

I love being able to find them.

If I am just going by - because I don't usually "plan ahead" when I go to these sales - it is very helpful to me to have just a big sign with

"YARD SALE" in bold letters large enough to see from far enough away to be able to negotiate traffic to head in that direction. An address in small print is fine - but most of the time, that is meaningless to me for two reasons - 1) I don't know the area, 2) I can't see it well enough to even read it unless it is on a corner with no traffic and I can get out and look at it.

It is also very helpful to have the arrow - and the arrow point - large enough to see so I can get in the proper lane to get there.

It also helpful to have all the signs going to one sale to be similar - use the same color/style of signs all the way to the door.

I have gone by sale signs where I was unable to discern soon enough which way to go to get to the sale - so I kept on going.

Also, please remove the signs when the sale is over.
