Rumor has it that sensors 100 yards from the signs can read your EZPass ID and tap into your Internet searching to pick an appropriate ad as you drive by.

I'm surprised at the "outrage" over these signs.It is simply a matter of improving technology just as tv's phones ,computers,automobiles etc. improve over the years.I'm sure that the same people would have been horrified when electricity was invented and the first sign was lit up at night.Then came the dreaded internally lit signs back in the 1920's and sometime later neon signs came along to ruin our lives.
Relax everybody....take a deep breath....business' need signs.They are all in commercially zoned areas.If one shows up next to your lake house....you have a good reason to complain.
I know it would be nice if every business had a 12"X12" carved wood sign but they just don't seem to work very well in the highly competitive world of business.
