Crosses disconcerting?

White crosses with a message of fewer than 15 words were ordered to be taken down because they were a distraction.”

It is interesting that the white crosses which had a message of fewer than 15 words were ordered to be taken down because they were, “a safety hazard and a distraction.”

The same highway between Upper Viewmount and Old Babine has a total of 21 advertising signs with lots of pictures and approximately 200 words but apparently these are not subject to that same criteria.

Could it be the crosses weren’t so much distracting as perhaps the message was disconcerting?
