NRA removes hundreds of road signs advertising commercial enterprises

HUNDREDS of illegal “tourist signs” are being removed from traffic signposts around the country by the National Roads Authority (NRA) because they are advertising commercial enterprises.

The NRA confirmed yesterday that it is taking down large numbers of unapproved road signs.

The removal of illegal “white-on-brown” tourist signs is part of a €60 million resigning programme for the national road network which began last year and set is to conclude in 2012.
