(A) The council shall by resolution determine and designate the character or type of all traffic signs and signals.
Subject to this selection, the chief of police is hereby authorized, and as to those signs and signals required hereunder, it shall be his duty, to place and maintain or cause to be placed and maintained all official traffic signs and signals. All signs and signals required hereunder for a particular purpose shall so far as practicable be uniform as to type and location throughout the city.
(B) No provision of this title for which signs are required shall be enforceable against an alleged violator, if, at the time and place of the alleged violation the sign herein required is not in proper position and sufficiently legible to be seen by an ordinarily observant person. Whenever a particular section does not state that signs are required, such section shall be effective without signs being erected to give notice thereof.
(C) It shall be unlawful for any operator to disobey the instructions of any official traffic sign or signal placed in accordance with the provisions of this title, unless otherwise directed by a police officer. (Ord. 385, 3-1-1943)
