95.—(1) In this section—
“road regulation” means an order, regulation, bye-law or rule under an enactment (other than section 86, F193[91,] 93, 94 or 96 of this Act) relating to traffic on F194[roads];
F194[“traffic sign” means any sign, device, notice or road marking, or any instrument for giving signals by mechanical means, which does one or more of the following in relation to a public road or public roads:
(a) gives information (such a sign being referred to in this section as “an information sign”),
(b) warns persons of danger or advises persons of the precautions to be taken against such danger, or both (such a sign being referred to in this section as “a warning sign”),
(c) indicates the existence of a road regulation or implements such a regulation, or both, or indicates the existence of a provision in an enactment relating to road traffic (such a sign being referred to in this section as “a regulatory sign”);]
“provide” includes erect or place, maintain and (in the case of an instrument for giving signals by mechanical means) operate and cognate words shall be construed accordingly.
(2) (a) The Minister, if he so thinks fit, may make regulations with respect to specified traffic signs, and where a traffic sign of the same kind as a traffic sign specified in any such regulations is provided by a road authority, it shall be in accordance with the regulations unless otherwise authorised by the Minister.
(b) Regulations under this subsection may specify the significance to be attached to a traffic sign specified in the regulations, but this provision shall not be construed as requiring the regulations to provide that the traffic sign is to comprise any word, words or symbol indicating precisely the significance of the traffic sign.
F194[F195[(3) (a) A road authority may provide in respect of public roads in their charge such information signs and warning signs as they consider desirable.
(b) A road authority may, after consultation with the Commissioner, provide in respect of public roads in their charge such regulatory signs as they consider desirable. ]
(4) F196[…]
(5) F197[(a) A road authority shall provide in respect of public roads in their charge such regulatory signs as may be requested by the Commissioner, in the positions indicated by him or her and shall, as respects any traffic signs so provided, carry out any periodical transfers from place to place and any alterations and removals which he or she may request.]
(b) A road authority shall, at the request of the Commissioner, remove any regulatory sign which the Commissioner considers has been provided in a manner or at a location that might adversely affect the safety of road users.]
(6) Where the provision by a road authority of a traffic sign on land adjacent to but not forming part of a public road is reasonably necessary, the road authority may, after at least twenty-one days’ notice, given by registered post to the occupier (if any) of the land and to every (if any) person interested in the land whose existence, name and address can be ascertained by such road authority by reasonable enquiries, enter and provide the traffic sign on the land.
(7) Where a traffic sign is provided under subsection (6) of this section on any land by a road authority, any person interested in the land may at any time, on giving notice of his intention so to do to the road authority, apply to the Minister to direct the removal of the traffic sign.
(8) Where an application is made under subsection (7) of this section, in relation to a traffic sign provided on any land, the Minister, after consideration of the application, shall either—
(a) refuse the application,
(b) if he is satisfied that the provision of the traffic sign is not reasonably necessary, direct the removal of the traffic sign from the land, or
(c) if he is satisfied that the provision of the traffic sign in its existing position causes unnecessary or unreasonable hardship, direct the removal of the traffic sign to another position on the land.
(9) Where the Minister gives a direction under subsection (8) of this section in relation to a traffic sign, the road authority who provided the traffic sign shall comply with the direction.
(10) A person other than a road authority shall not provide a traffic sign visible from a public road without the consent of the F194[road authority having charge of the road].
(11) The occupier or (in the case of unoccupied land) the owner of land on which a traffic sign is provided in contravention of subsection (10) of this section shall be guilty of an offence and, in any prosecution for an offence under this subsection and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the traffic sign shall be presumed, until the contrary is shown by the defendant, to have been provided by a person other than a road authority without the consent of the F194[road authority having charge of the road].
(12) Where a person wilfully obstructs or interferes with the exercise by a road authority of the powers conferred by subsection (6) of this section, or without lawful authority, removes, defaces or otherwise injures a traffic sign provided under this section, he shall be guilty of an offence.
(13) Expenses incurred by a road authority in providing traffic signs for a public road shall be part of the expenses of maintaining the road.
(14) A person shall not provide any such sign, device, notice or light as is not a traffic sign if, on provision thereof, it is visible from a public road and—
(a) it is capable of being confused with a traffic sign,
(b) it makes a traffic sign provided in accordance with this section less visible to road users, or
(c) it obstructs the view of public road users so as to render the road dangerous to them.
(15) The occupier or (in the case of unoccupied land) the owner of land on which a sign, device, notice or light is provided in contravention of subsection (14) of this section shall be guilty of an offence.
(16) Where a traffic sign, not being a traffic sign to which regulations under subsection (2) of this section relate, is provided under this section by a road authority, it shall be in conformity with any general or particular directions that may be given from time to time by the Minister.
(17) A traffic sign standing provided under any subsection of section 69 of the Local Government Act, 1946, at the commencement of this section shall be deemed to be provided under the corresponding subsection of this section.
(18) A traffic sign on or near a public road shall, in any prosecution for an offence under this Act, be presumed, until the contrary is shown by the defendant, to have been so placed lawfully and to be in accordance with any regulation, or in conformity with any direction, under this section relating to it.
(19) A request by F198[…] the Commissioner under this section may be signed by an officer of the Garda Síochána authorised in that behalf by the Commissioner.
(20) Where a person is charged with an offence under subsection (11) or subsection (15) of this section, it shall be a good defence to the charge for him to show—
(a) that the traffic sign, sign, device, notice or light to which the charge relates was provided neither by him nor with his consent, and
(b) that as soon as was practicable after its provision came to his notice, he had it removed.
