TRAFFIC-CONTROL DEVICES
The Board of Trustees shall place and maintain official traffic-control devices when and as required under the traffic ordinances of this town to make effective the provisions of said ordinances. It may deem necessary to regulate, warn, or guide traffic under the traffic ordinances of this town or the state vehicle laws.
(Ord. 1981-6, passed 6-9-81)
Statutory reference:
Local traffic-control devices, see IC 9-21-4-3
All traffic-control signs, signals, and devices to be installed after the effective date of this traffic code shall conform to the then current Indiana Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways. All signs and signals required hereunder for a particular purpose shall be uniform as to type and location through the town. All traffic-control devices so erected, and not inconsistent with the provisions of state law or this traffic code, shall be official traffic-control devices.
(Ord. 1981-6, passed 6-9-81)
The Board of Trustees is hereby authorized to designate and maintain, by appropriate devices, marks, or lines upon the surface of the roadway, crosswalks at intersections, where in its opinion, there is particular danger to pedestrians crossing the roadway, and at such other places as it may deem necessary.
(Ord. 1981-6, passed 6-9-81)
The Town Marshal is authorized to temporarily place official traffic-control devices when required by an emergency. The Town Marshal shall notify the President of the Board of Trustees of his actions as soon thereafter as is practicable. Such official traffic- control devices shall not remain longer than 30 days unless authorized by the Town Board.
(Ord. 1981-6, passed 6-9-81)
No provision of this traffic code for which official traffic-control devices are required shall be enforced if, at the time and place of the alleged violation, an official device is not in proper position and sufficiently legible to be seen by an ordinarily observant person. Whenever a particular section does not state that official traffic-control devices are required, such section shall be effective even though no devices are in place.
(Ord. 1981-6, passed 6-9-81)
Whenever official traffic-control devices are placed in positions approximately conforming to the requirements of this traffic code, such devices shall be presumed to have been so placed by the official act or direction of lawful authority, and shall be presumed to comply with the requirements of this traffic code, unless the contrary is established by competent evidence.
