(A) Whenever any traffic control regulation is imposed by this title with respect to any designated intersection, portion of street or other area and any of the following, it shall be the duty of the Town Superintendent or other officer so directed by the Town Council to erect and maintain at such locations standard traffic control signs, signals or devices in accordance with the Uniform Traffic Control Manual of the state:
(1) Designates a street to be one-way;
(2) Regulates the speed of vehicles in any manner different from the prima facie speed limit applicable by statute;
(3) Designates a stop intersection;
(4) Restricts use of a street as to size, weight or type of vehicle;
(5) Regulates or prohibits the turning of vehicles;
(6) Restricts the parking, stopping or standing of vehicles; or
(7) Is any other traffic regulation adopted under specific authority of I.C. Title 9.
(B) In the case of any regulation which is general in character and not made to pertain to any particular intersection, portion of street or other designated location, the Town Superintendent may cause appropriate signs to be erected at such places wherein the Town Marshal finds that failure of persons to be informed of and to observe the applicable regulation, and for such regulation to be properly enforced, creates a substantial traffic hazard, traffic congestion or public inconvenience.
(C) No provision of this title for which signs are required shall be enforced against an alleged violator if at the time and place of the alleged violation an official sign is not in proper position and sufficiently legible to be seen by an ordinarily observant person; however, except as provided in this section, whenever a particular section does not state that signs are required, such section shall be effective without signs being erected to give notice thereof.
