Speed Limit Signage & Enforcement - Main points: Several cases highlight the absence or improper placement of speed limit boards on roads, leading to traffic violations and challenges in enforcement. Courts have emphasized the importance of erecting appropriate traffic signs, including speed limit boards, to prevent unwarranted violations and ensure compliance.

Authority & Procedural Issues in Signage & Violations - Main points: Courts have questioned whether authorities have the jurisdiction to issue charge memos without proper signage or after improper procedures. The lack of signage or unauthorized placement of speed breakers and speed limit boards can invalidate enforcement actions. Proper notification by authorities under relevant laws (e.g., Article 226) is essential for valid enforcement.

Analysis & Conclusion:
The core issue of Speed Violation Without Boards revolves around the absence, improper placement, or unauthorized installation of traffic signs, especially speed limit boards, which are essential for lawful enforcement. Courts consistently emphasize that enforcement actions are invalid without proper signage and procedural compliance. Authorities must ensure signs are erected according to legal procedures and notifications to prevent unjust violations. Additionally, violations related to licensing and infrastructure must adhere strictly to statutory requirements to be upheld legally. Proper signage and procedural adherence are fundamental to fair and lawful traffic enforcement.
