MUTCD Non-Compliant Signage Defense
Idaho Code §49-201 incorporates the federal MUTCD as adopted by ITD. Boise §10-15-02, Pocatello §11.36.020, Idaho Falls §6-2-1 require all parking signs to comply. A faded, missing, knocked-down, obstructed, or contradictory sign is a complete defense — the driver had no fair notice (Lambert v. California, 355 U.S. 225 (1957)).
Legal basis
Idaho Code §49-201; MUTCD §2B; Lambert v. California, 355 U.S. 225 (1957)
