BDifficulty 1/5

May a private individual remove a traffic sign without a justified reason or permission from the road owner or competent authority?

Correct answer

No, it is not authorised in that scenario.

No. Article 140.2 prohibits installing, removing, moving, hiding or altering signs without the applicable permission, except for a justified reason. Merely considering a sign unnecessary or promising responsible action is insufficient. Article 140.3 prohibits objects that may confuse, impair visibility or effectiveness, dazzle or distract, while recognising authorities’ powers. Report damaged signs to the responsible body rather than altering them on your own initiative.
