3. The Minister of Transport or the person responsible for the maintenance of a public highway or a bridge may, if he or she has reasonable grounds to believe that advertising is erected in contravention of section 1 or 2, issue to the person who erected the advertising or, where the person cannot be identified or contacted, to the person who caused or allowed it to be erected, a notice requiring the person to remove the advertising within 30 days. However, the time limit shall be reduced to five days in the case of advertising erected near a road or traffic sign at a distance that is less than the minimum distance prescribed.

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.
