The county actually purchased the signs from DOT and had to follow certain guidelines as to where they could be installed. It certainly was a learning experience so be aware they will probably take their time to help out. Regarding who to contact I copied the following from the BNS website under the tab "Education & Advocacy": Contacts: HRM Roads For problems concerning changes or new installations (such as replacing parallel sewer grates, installing "Share the Road" signs, etc.), contact Roddy MacIntyre, macintr@halifax.ca. Remember to specify the location as accurately as possible. For problems with maintenance (such as potholes, debris on bike lanes), contact the HRM Corporate Call Centre, phone 490-4000, or write contacthrm@halifax.ca, with your maintenance request so it can be assigned to the Operations department. Provincial Roads Requests for "Share the Road" signs (signs WC-47/WC-47S) need to be directed to the local District Area Manager of Transportation & Public Works, and refer to TPW policy PO1024. The request has to come from a cycling club or organization (directive 1 of the policy). Documentation is required that the section is frequented by cyclists (directive 2 of the policy). Note that the Provincial policy considers these road signs warning signs, suitable only in places where conditions change, but not as a general alert to motorists (as in HRM).
