May a pedestrian, acting on their own initiative without authorisation, add an information panel to a traffic sign?

Correct answer

No; competent authorisation is needed, and they cannot do it on their own initiative.

No. Official signs and their alteration are the responsibility of the competent bodies; they cannot be changed on private initiative without authorisation. Article 139 assigns responsibilities to the road owner and traffic authority according to the type of signalling. Accurate wording or a vertical sign does not authorise a pedestrian to add a panel.
