over all streets and highways, except State Roads, located within the municipality;

or maintain any official traffic control device at any location so as to regulate
the traffic on any State Road unless approval in writing : has first been obtained
from the Department of Transportation; and

jurisdiction on State secondary routes to certain Counties under the terms of
maintenance agreements with those Counties; and

between the date of request and the date of installation of traffic control signs;

eliminated by the Department of Transportation transferring authority for
certain traffic engineering activities to the local authority when the local authority
employs traffic engineering personnel with qualifications acceptable to the
Department of Transportation; and

be rescinded by the Department of Transportation in the event of regulations
