318 Limited effect of certain traffic control devices
If information on a traffic control device indicates that the device applies during particular times, on particular days, in particular circumstances, to a particular length of road or area, or to particular people or vehicles, the device has effect only for the indicated times, days, circumstances, length of road, area, people or vehicles.
Example
A shared zone sign on a road into an area may indicate that the sign applies on Monday to Friday between 7 am and 6 pm.
If information on a traffic control device indicates that the device does not apply during particular times, on particular days, in particular circumstances, to a particular length of road or area, or to particular people or vehicles, the device does not have effect for the indicated times, days, circumstances, length of road, area, people or vehicles.
Examples
1 A plate erected next to a pedestrian crossing sign at a place may indicate that the sign does not apply on a particular day.
2 A board erected close to a bus lane sign above a marked lane may indicate that the sign does not apply when the words on the board are illuminated.
If information on a traffic control device that is at a place indicates that it applies on a particular day of the week, the device does not have effect on a day that is a public holiday for the place unless information on the device states otherwise.
Example
If a loading zone sign indicates that it applies on Monday to Friday between 9 am and 4 pm and information on or with the sign does not indicate that it applies on public holidays, the sign does not have effect on any public holiday falling on a Monday to Friday.
