A. except as provided in subsection B, local authorities in their respective jurisdictions shall place and maintain the traffic control devices on highways under their jurisdiction as they deem necessary to indicate and to carry out this chapter or local traffic ordinances or to regulate, warn or guide traffic. All traffic control devices erected shall conform to the manual and specifications prescribed in section 28-641.
B. Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, on or before January 1, 2007, each local authority shall make the duration of the steady yellow signal not less than four seconds on each traffic control device on any highway under its jurisdiction.
