[DeTomaso] NPC - CA vehicle code question

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

Signage is not a requirement in most states, however roads must be certified
for radar use after they have been accepted by the state from the building
contractor
I.e. if you could access a road under construction, drive on it and go 160,
and get caught. You're going to get busted for wreckless driving (which can
be beat) and trespassing, but not speeding.  Because the road hasn't been
"delivered" to the state, nor has it been tested for extraneous signals
which could cause false readings.
