Article 20.--UNIFORM ACT REGULATING TRAFFIC; POWERS OF STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES
8-2005.Local traffic-control devices; highways and
streets designated
as connecting links; township roads in certain counties.
(a) Local authorities in their respective jurisdictions shall place and
maintain such traffic-control devices upon highways under their
jurisdiction as they may deem necessary to indicate and to carry out the
provisions of this act or local traffic ordinances or to regulate, warn or
guide traffic. All such traffic-control devices hereafter erected shall
conform to the state manual and specifications.
(b) Local authorities in exercising those functions referred to in
subsection (a) shall be subject to the direction and control of the
secretary of transportation with respect to highways and streets designated
by the secretary as connecting links in the state highway system.
(c) In townships located in
Douglas, Johnson, Riley, Shawnee and Sedgwick counties,
the township board shall place and maintain traffic-control
devices, other than regulatory signs, on township roads under the board's
jurisdiction. In addition, such township board shall place and maintain
regulatory
signs on township roads under the board's jurisdiction
consistent with resolutions of the board of county commissioners of the county
in which the township road is located. For this purpose, a regulatory sign is a
sign setting forth a regulation, the violation of which subjects the operator
of the motor vehicle to fine, imprisonment, or both.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as precluding the board of county
commissioners from placing and maintaining traffic-control devices on township
roads, if the board determines that traffic-control devices or signs placed by
a township are inadequate, but the board of county commissioners shall have no
obligation to do so.
