If the person fails to comply with the notice, the Minister or the person responsible for the maintenance of the highway or the bridge may have the advertising removed at the person’s expense.
The first paragraph does not apply to advertising that does not comply with the minimum distances and the maximum dimensions prescribed by the second paragraph of section 2, if it was erected on the same display panel to replace the original advertising and does not exceed the dimensions of the original advertising.
