Look, we know it can be hard getting your business out there. But for the love of all things motoring, please don’t resort to plastering public spaces with annoying streamers and posters.

Not only is this strategy an eyesore, but it can obstruct motorists’ view of important road signs as well. Show of hands for anyone who has ever been ticketed because of a sign covered by an annoying ad. We see a couple.

Anyway, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s (MMDA) Parkways Clearing Group is now going around ridding our streets of these obstructions. Common victims of this prohibited act include electrical posts, footbridges, and power wires, the MMDA says.

So yeah, don’t put up streamers and posters everywhere. Besides, aren’t you better off boosting a Facebook post these days or something?

Have you come across any of these things in your neighborhood?
