N.C.P.I.—Crim. 258.30
ERECTING OR MAINTAINING SIGNS ON HIGHWAYS. MISDEMEANOR.
The defendant has been charged with [erecting] [maintaining] a
[warning sign] [direction sign] [marker] [signal] [light] (or) [an imitation
[warning sign] [direction sign] [marker] [signal] [light]] upon a highway.1
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [erected] [maintained] a [warning sign]
[direction sign] [marker] [signal] [light] (or) [an imitation [warning sign]
[direction sign]2 [marker] [signal] [light]] upon a highway;
And Second, that the defendant was not authorized3 to [erect]
[maintain] such (imitation) [warning sign] [direction sign] [marker]
[signal] [light]. If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt
that on or about the alleged date the defendant, without authorization,
[erected] [maintained] a [warning sign] [direction sign] [marker] [signal]
[light] (or) [an imitation [warning sign] [direction sign] [marker] [signal]
[light]] upon a highway, it would be your duty to return a verdict of
guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or
more of these things, then it would be your duty to return a verdict of not
guilty.
