§ 31-13-5. Signs prerequisite to enforcement of provisions.
No provision of chapters 12 — 27 of this title for which signs are required shall
            be enforced against an alleged violator if, at the time and place of the alleged violation,
            an official sign is not in proper position and sufficiently legible to be seen by
            an ordinarily observant person. Whenever a particular section does not state that
            signs are required, the section shall be effective even though no signs are erected
