2. If a group of homes serviced by one driveway/access way are unable to individually display their numbers in a manner that would be visible from the road due to distance or physical obstructions, all house numbers from that group of homes may be placed on one sign at the point where the primary access to those homes intersects with the main road.
3. The above-referenced homes shall, in addition to placing their house number on a group sign where the driveway/access way intersects with the road, also display their house number on the primary addressed structure, visible from the driveway/access way.
4. Mobile homes located in an organized mobile home park must display their proper lot number on the mobile home lot, visible from the driveway/access way.

Pursuant to the authority granted in SDCL § 7-18A-2, failure to comply with the provisions of Section Four of this ordinance is punishable by a fine not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) for each violation. Each day the violation continues shall constitute a new violation.
