Most towns and cities have sign regulations for numerous reasons. There are safety concerns having to do with blocking visibility of roadways and signs need to be able to withstand wind. Then some codes want signs to fit within the normal decor and theme of various tourist attractions etc. And of course the city does not want signs left as trash for public employees to clean up. Sometimes however laws are made that find themselves in trouble with freedom of speech. In most cases the regular sign ordinances can be ignored if one places the sign on wheels, such as on a trailer or truck. People can cry and complain all they want but wheels trump permanently fixed signs.
Brace yourself for some lively conversation (and sign language).
Holding a sign on a public sidewalk is totally within the realm of free speech. However many of your cowardly friends might decide to avoid you and walk on the other side of the street from now on. The police might come and remind you not to block the flow of traffic to businesses etc. Simply be polite.
Signs on boats are fare game for there are no navigational rules that apply here and cities have no jurisdiction over water.
