The city of Naples is learning there are more transportation headaches than those dealing with major highway projects. City Hall is seemingly helpless to do anything about — ugh — ugly mast arms on traffic signals.

Annoying, yes, though other local government entities would give anything to have room for peeling pole paint on their lists of roadwork headaches.
