What is the name of your state? WV
I need to know if it's illegal to alter a traffic sign. Common sense would say "yes" but common sense rarely has anything to do with legal matters.
Specifically the alteration involves some resident that was upset over people not coming to a complete stop at a 4 way stop intersection. They proceeded to hang card board signs with "Not Slow Down" written on them in magic marker. They then hung these signs on the same pole as the stop sign right under the familiar red octagon.
What I want to confirm is the legality/illegality of doing this and if possible locate the specific statute prohibiting such action. I've been to the state Dept of Highways website but I can't make heads or tails of all the legal talk.
