The Department of Public Safety in coordination with the board shall administer official traffic control devices in the Capitol Complex.
  (1) The Department of Public Safety shall cause to be placed and maintained all official traffic-control devices in accordance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic-Control Devices for Streets and Highways, as most recently published by the Texas Department of Transportation, or in accordance with such official publication of that Department, which may in the future amend or supersede the same, except where such manual is in conflict with state law. It shall be unlawful for any person to violate the regulation imposed by any lawfully posted traffic-control device, whether or not posted in accordance with such manual.
  (2) Proof of the fact that any traffic-control device, sign, signal or marking was actually in place at any location in the Capitol Complex shall constitute prima facie evidence that the same was installed under the authority of law.
  (3) The Department of Public Safety shall maintain a record of the locations where any traffic-control device, marking or special regulation is made applicable.
  (4) All traffic-control devices, signs, signals and markings evidenced by the record thereof maintained by the Department of Public Safety, and in existence as of the adoption of these amendments to the rules of the department, are hereby ratified and confirmed as official traffic-control devices of the department, and shall continue as such until modified as provided in this section.
  (5) The Department of Public Safety shall approve any special regulations of traffic or parking applicable to a specific location when appropriate for the free flow and the expeditious handling of traffic, the safety of persons or property, or the use of buildings and property within the Capitol Complex. Such regulations shall be placed in the record, which shall include the description, location and date of such regulation. Whenever any specific regulation of traffic becomes expressly not applicable to a specific location within the Capitol Complex, the record of such regulation shall be marked "deleted" by the commander of the Capitol Regional Command Office or his designee, who shall also note the date of such deletion.
  (6) The record of traffic-control devices, signs, signals and markings shall be continuously maintained by the Department of Public Safety, and all persons shall be charged with notice of the contents of the same. Defects, omissions or entries of the records relating to traffic-control devices, signs, signals and markings shall not constitute a defense to prosecution for traffic or parking violations.
