Signage

*hypothetically* speaking, what would happen if a certain individul happend to stick NSL signs over present 50 limit ones? Would the limit then be unenforcable?

So *hypthecially* if someone was to destroy the Speed camera and stick some stickers over the speed limit signs.. it would be as good as NSL? Intersting!

[pwig]

Oh yeah, and most importantly, what penalty is there for doing such a thing?

This is about the closest I can find...
