§ 125-a. Posting signs on dead-end roads. It shall be the duty of
every municipal corporation and person charged with the duty of
maintaining any street or other roadway whenever such street or other
roadway terminates in a dead end or at the embankment of a river, lake,
canal, reservoir, stream or other body of water, to post and keep posted
a sign readily visible by day and night. Such signs shall be installed
in accordance with the state manual of uniform traffic control devices
and shall be illuminated from one-half hour after sunset to one-half
hour before sunrise. Where either the background or letters of the sign
are of reflecting material so that such sign is readily visible at night
when motor vehicle headlight rays fall upon the sign and it is placed in
such position that the headlight rays of approaching vehicles will
strike it, no additional illumination shall be necessary.
