If they thought it was sufficient enough of a problem.
As another example, on the very popular Road To Hana on Maui, there is a quaint, beautiful little place called Kaenae which has signs in residential areas that read something like "If you do not live here, you do not belong here. Turn around and leave." Seriously. Not hard to take that hint.
If I'm not mistaken, there ARE community mandated noise restictions and periodic police crackdowns on 17th St. Crap doesn't go with the territory.
You're the visitor in a community where other people live their lives. They make the rules.
Anyhoo, I don't live in Black Diamond, Longview or Turner, popular stops for weekend riders. I don't care. But I know the people who live there aren't too happy about it and it may become something in the future. That's up to them.

Ok, and as of yet, there are no such bans in these areas, so obviously it's not "sufficient enough of a problem".
I love how you come in here hoping to inform everyone, when it's not the riders that need to know this info. Go tell your friends in these areas about your sign idea - they're the ones complaining.
If you have a suggestion for riders on how they can be more "polite", without outright avoiding these areas, then by all means share the info. We're all ears.
Otherwise, you're just a hater so GTFO.
