§ 33.1-210.2. Installation and maintenance of certain signs in counties.

The governing body of any county may by resolution request the Commissioner to install and maintain, at locations specified in such resolution, signs alerting motorists that children may be at play nearby. Upon receipt of such resolution, the Commissioner shall, within thirty days, respond in writing to such governing body granting or denying the request. The cost of installation of signs installed under this section shall be paid, at the option of the governing body, either (i) out of the secondary system construction allocation to the affected county, (ii) from direct contributions or grants made for such purpose to the governing body, or (iii) from such other source as may be provided by the governing body and the cost of maintaining such signs shall be paid out of the secondary system maintenance allocation to the affected county.
