Conducta prohibida respecto a dispositivos de control de tráfico en zonas de trabajo

Explicación Simple

No puedes romper o quitar los conos o señales que están en las calles cuando hay trabajos en curso. Hacerlo puede costarte dinero y deberás pagar a quien le hiciste daño.

Es como si alguien rompiera las señales de un juego de fútbol; sin esas señales, los jugadores no saben qué hacer y el juego se vuelve peligroso.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan, mientras conduce, decide mover un cono de tráfico que está en una zona de construcción porque le molesta. Al hacerlo, rompe el cono y, al ser atrapado, debe pagar cien dólares y reponer el cono dañado al dueño.
