Happy times!

Plus there's a high probability that Notley will shred Kenney in the debates and nuke his talking points as badly as she did to Jim Prentice because she's a very good orator. It'll be beer & popcorn time on the evening of this election.

Pretty sure modifying a Traffic Sign is a criminal offence.

Maybe.

It really all comes down to what type of permit they pulled, prior to videoing.

Granted, if they pulled no permit, than they may have a fine to pay.

Fairly cut and dry,

And you know for a fact they didn't get a permit? If they pulled a permit, they can touch any sign they want, as long as the background is not white, and it is returned to original prior to end of permit, or re-opening of roadway, whichever comes first.

Which, of course, you knew.

[llama66]

Because then the sign would be bagged. There is no "defacing a sign" permit. There are street use and a permit to bag a traffic control device, but permit that allows you to modify a sign on a road.

This happened in Edmonton.

Here is the OSCAM Guidelines for Edmonton: https://www.edmonton.ca/documents/ConstructionSafety.pdf

Here is the specific quote (pg 14 of the pdf, pg 12 of the document):

12 > Procedures for On-Street Construction Safety Regulatory Signs
Note: Installed and removed only under the authority of Transportation Operations

Here is a link to Alberta Traffic Signs:https://www.alberta.ca/traffic-control-standards-recommended-practices-guidelines.aspx

Notice that a height warning sign is not listed under Regulatory.

Like I said, with the right permit, he can do what he wants with it, as long as it is returned to normal before end of permit, or prior to public access resuming.

[llama66]

S.111 is Alberta Highway Traffic Act, which would supersede any municipal by-law.
Height is to be 1.5 to 2m from the ground. What bearing does this have on them changing (ie. defacing) a sign?

S.111 is Alberta Highway Traffic Act, which would supersede any municipal by-law.

Alberta Traffic Safety Act

Section 13(1)(o) [Alberta Traffic Safety Act]

authorizing the municipality to issue a licence or permit that is terminable on 30 days’ notice in writing for the temporary occupation or use of a road allowance or highway or a portion of a road allowance or highway when it is not required for public use;

[llama66]

Road use is usually limited to the road, the sign being in the utility corridor; falls under the purview of the ATSA because it is considered a Traffic Control Device. It would fall under provincial jurisdiction by virtue that the crime of defacing a sign is a provincial offence and thus outside municipal by-laws and uses.

As Alberta election nears, political insider faces fines, alleges voter fraud in UCP leadership campaign

So, the guy was given money to give to people to give to candidates - and he was implicated in the assault of a reporter? When the fuck did that happen?
