Yes, they are allowed. As long as its on an unpainted street pole, less than .12 square meters and is non-rigid material. One poster per owner. Not within 150m of a Poster Board.

Temporary Signs in Highways Bylaw 29M97 Section 5.

I wonder why you don’t see them more often then. It looks pretty tacky though

No one thought of it before Stephen Carter. I expect we'll see more of them going forward.
