Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
Every sign, signal, pavement marking, or device which is
placed, maintained, or displayed in violation of s. 346.41 is declared to be a public nuisance. The authority in charge of maintenance of the highway in question may notify in writing the owner
or occupant of the premises upon which the nuisance exists or the
person causing or maintaining the nuisance to remove the same.
If such nuisance is not removed within 30 days after such notice
is given or if an unauthorized signal or device is found to be in
operation at any time after such notice is given, the authority in
charge of maintenance of the highway may cause the nuisance to
be removed and collect the expense of removal from the person
notified to remove it. The expense of removal may be charged
against the premises and, upon certificate of the highway authority causing the removal, assessed as are other special taxes.
