§ 46.2-830 Uniform traffic control devices on highways; drivers to obey traffic control devices; enforcement of section

All drivers of vehicles shall obey lawfully erected traffic control devices. No provision of this section relating to the prohibition of disobeying traffic control devices or violating local traffic control devices shall be enforced against an alleged violator if, at the time and place of the alleged violation, any such traffic control device is not in proper position and sufficiently legible to be seen by an ordinarily observant person.
