Question 6490

Are drivers allowed to modify, move, or remove traffic signs installed on a road?

  1. Yes, provided they are temporary signs or channelizing devices.
  2. Yes, as a general rule, except for those indicating road work on the roadway.
  3. No, except for a justified reason.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, except for a justified reason.

Except for a justified reason, no one may install, remove, move, cover, or change a sign or signal without authorization from the road owner or traffic authority. This applies equally to road work signs, temporary signs, and channelizing devices. Removing, concealing, or altering traffic signs or signals is a very serious traffic violation.
