device placed in accordance with the provisions of chapters 484A to 484E, inclusive,

of NRS, unless at the time otherwise directed by a police officer. 2. No provision of chapters 484A to 484E, inclusive, of NRS for which such devices

of the alleged violation the device is not in proper position and sufficiently legible

to be seen by an ordinarily observant person. Whenever a particular provision of chapters 484A to 484E, inclusive, of NRS does

devices are erected or in place. 3. Whenever devices are placed in position approximately conforming to the requirements

of chapters 484A to 484E, inclusive, of NRS, such devices are presumed to have been

of NRS and purporting to conform to the lawful requirements pertaining to such devices

is presumed to comply with the requirements of chapters 484A to 484E, inclusive, of

NRS unless the contrary is established by competent evidence. 5. A person who violates any provision of subsection 1 may be subject to any additional

penalty set forth in NRS 484B.130 or 484B.135 .
