Supreme Court blocks ban on private sold sale signs
The Supreme Court ruled that a Willingboro New Jersey ordinance banning sale and sold signs violates free speech. Justice Marshall wrote the decision, with a 4-0 vote after Justice Rehnquist took no part. The ruling notes other methods like ads and real estate lists as less autonomous. The court did not decide if communities may limit sign sizes or pass broader sign ordinances.
