Solution

The relevant lines are:

“The polished traffic passed with a mind ahead,

Or if ever aside a moment, then out of sorts

At having the landscape marred with the artless paint

Of signs that with N turned wrong and S turned wrong”

According to the city folk, these stalls with inartistic signboards blemish the scenic beauty of the landscape.
