(b) The National Roads Authority shall, at the request of the Commissioner, remove any regulatory sign from a national managed road that the Commissioner considers has been provided in a manner or at a location that might adversely affect the safety of road users.]

(6) Where the provision by a road authority of a traffic sign on F243[land adjacent to a public road, other than a national managed road, but not forming part of such road] is reasonably necessary, the road authority may, after at least twenty-one days’ notice, given by registered post to the occupier (if any) of the land and to every (if any) person interested in the land whose existence, name and address can be ascertained by such road authority by reasonable enquiries, enter and provide the traffic sign on the land.

F242[(6A) Where the provision by the National Roads Authority of a traffic sign on land adjacent to but not forming part of a national managed road is reasonably necessary, the National Roads Authority may, after at least twenty-one days’ notice, given by registered post to the occupier (if any) of the land and to every (if any) person interested in the land whose existence, name and address can be ascertained by the National Roads Authority by reasonable enquiries, enter and provide the traffic sign on the land.]

(a) refuse the application,

(b) if he is satisfied that the provision of the traffic sign is not reasonably necessary, direct the removal of the traffic sign from the land, or

(12) Where a person wilfully obstructs or interferes with the exercise by a road authority of the powers conferred by subsection (6) F242[or (6A)] of this section, or without lawful authority, removes, defaces or otherwise injures a traffic sign provided under this section, he shall be guilty of an offence.

(13) Expenses incurred by a road authority F242[or the National Roads Authority] in providing traffic signs for a public road shall be part of the expenses of maintaining the road.

(14) A person shall not provide any such sign, device, notice or light as is not a traffic sign if, on provision thereof, it is visible from a public road and—

(a) it is capable of being confused with a traffic sign,

(b) it makes a traffic sign provided in accordance with this section less visible to road users, or

(c) it obstructs the view of public road users so as to render the road dangerous to them.

F242[(14A) A person who provides a sign, device, notice or light in contravention of subsection (14) of this section shall be guilty of an offence.]

(15) The occupier or (in the case of unoccupied land) the owner of land on which a sign, device, notice or light is provided in contravention of subsection (14) of this section shall be guilty of an offence.

(16) Where a traffic sign, not being a traffic sign to which regulations under subsection (2) of this section relate, is provided under this section by a road authority F242[or by the National Roads Authority], it shall be in conformity with any general or particular directions that may be given from time to time by the Minister.

(17) A traffic sign standing provided under any subsection of section 69 of the Local Government Act, 1946, at the commencement of this section shall be deemed to be provided under the corresponding subsection of this section.
