Question about signage

In researching why my images of a public sign for a national park were rejected, I found that signs aren't allowed, due to intellectual property rights. I get that's the rule, now that I looked after the fact. However, if you search this sign to buy, about 50% are listed as editorial but 50% are not. None of them I found are in Winter so mine would be unique. The question comes because before I took the photos, I looked in the "buy" asset area (searched "Yellowstone Park sign") and found all the photos of the various signage available to purchase and that none were in Winter. Had I seen no photos at all, or all listed as editorial, I would not have even made the trip to take the photos (just 3 hours away), but that was not the case. No other signs or logos were present and the one that had a person in it was accompanied by a model release for her.
Why are some public sign photos allowed and some are not, is my question (referencing a Yellowstone National Park sign)? That's the answer I didn't find while researching (ie, "it's only allowed if...").
