TRAFFIC SIGNS
ARTICLE 6:
Traffic signs comprise of the signs placed along the roads, traffic lights and traffic lanes on the roads, the traffic direction of the traffic agents and other signs.
The traffic signs, traffic lights and traffic lanes on the roads are arranged in a coherent system at the important places to make it easier for the roads users.
The impermanent danger signs along the roads are placed in an appropriate distance according to the type of roads, rank of road and the condition of road for which the drivers can be able to take precaution.
Sticking papers or other things or drawing on the traffic signs or using the traffic sign supporting frames or other things used as the traffic signs are prohibited as these acts would cause the driver(s) from seeing the traffic signs clearly or understand the meaning of the traffic signs improperly, or for they would blind the driver’s eyes.
