2: A board erected close to a bus lane sign above a marked lane indicating that the sign does not apply when the words on the board are illuminated.
 (3) If information on a traffic control device that is at a place indicates that it applies on a particular day of the week, the device does not have effect on a day that is a public holiday for the place unless information on the device states otherwise.
