Correct answer

  • ANoNo
Explanation

Under Article 140.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), except for a justified reason, nobody may remove, move, cover up or alter road signs without permission from the owner of the road or the traffic authority. A sign being in your way is not a justified reason, and removing it is a very serious offence (Article 140.4).
