While I agree with you, I must point out that the DPS and AG people that I emailed with a while back felt that as long as the letters were something close to an inch it showed a good faith effort to post, and after all their intent was clear, and would I like to be a volunteer to be a test case?S&W6946 wrote:The way I read this, if the letters are not 1 inch in height, its not a valid sign. The law specifically identifies the size of lettering. It is not clear at all on what "contrasting colors" are. I would think that contrasting colors would be subject to local interpretation while the size lettering is easily resolved with a ruler. If not 1 inch they don't meet the requirement for a valid sign.
When I responded that I would like to use the same rationale when stopped for speeding, that as long as I was going in the 60s it showed an effort to comply, etc. The young ladyI was talking to didn't take too kindly to that.
