Failure to Re-Sign After Construction or Sign Removal
Florida Administrative Code 14-15.010 and FDOT MUTCD Rule require restoration of restriction signage after construction, repaving, or sign damage. Citations issued at locations where signage had been removed for road work or knocked down by accident are unenforceable until conforming signs are reinstalled. Public-records requests to public-works departments can establish absence on the citation date.
