§ 2206. Evidence

If the respondent is substantially prejudiced in the presentation of his case as a result of the amendment, the court shall adjourn the hearing to some future time, upon such terms as he or she shall think proper.

(b) Testimony of a witness as to the existence of a traffic control sign, signal, or marking, or sign establishing a speed zone, shall be prima facie evidence that any such traffic control device existed pursuant to a lawful statute, regulation or ordinance and that a defendant was lawfully required to obey the directions of such device.
