One of the keys to a decent sign is a good, clear arrow. It should be noticeable from a moving vehicle before you need to turn. I always see signs that are on the most distant side of the road at ground level. You never see them until after you miss the turn!

Being on the most distant side of the convergence would have been pardonable (not driving too quick in a private area), but crayons? I understand people need to utilize what they have available, however pastels on development paper simply aren't noticeable. Enough said. Get a sharpie or acrylic paint (either about a buck) or run the paper through your printer.

Cardboard doesn't make the best background as long as contrast goes, but the size and readability compensate for it. 

It should have been perused from across the road. Also, it is simply paper and has tumbled down, so it's absolutely ambiguous. 

It should be large enough to be seen from across the road. Tip: Walgreen's fluorescent banner board is about a buck for an extraordinary big piece.

The yard sellers should use a big piece of foam insulation from the big box home improvement shop and cut it into huge pieces. Then paint them with regular acrylic paint and pop them on recycled election sign stands. The good thing about these is that they are waterproof. So, no need to worry about bad weather.
