Canopies and marquees shall be considered to be an <br />integral pan of the structure to which they are an accessory.

Stat. 617.241. <br /> <br />6 Location. <br /> <br />No sign other than governmental signs shall be erected or temporarily placed within any <br />street or public right-of-way or upon any public easement. <br /> <br />A permit for a sign to be located within fifty (50) feet of any street or highway regulatory or <br />warning sign, or any traffic sign or signal, or of any crossroad or crosswalk, will not be <br />issued unless: <br /> <br />The sign will not interfere with the ability of drivers and pedestrians to see any <br />street or highway sign, or any traffic sign or signal, or any crossroad or crosswalk; <br />and <br /> <br />The sign will not distract drivers nor offer any confusion to any street or highway, <br />sign, or any traffic sign or signal. <br /> <br />Illumination.
