It clearly doesn't say that.Subsection (2) says that the sign must be posted by the police officer... This does not look like a sign that the police officer posted, but one posted by the construction company doing the work on the road.

The way the section reads, yes, you would be operating your motor vehicle on a closed highway. Would a police officer actually charge you? Not sure how likely that would be.Highway closing
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a police officer may close a highway or any part thereof to vehicles by posting or causing to be posted signs to that effect, or placing or causing to be placed traffic control devices as prescribed in the regulations.
Driving on closed highway prohibited
(3) Where signs or traffic control devices have been posted or placed under subsection (2), no person shall drive or operate a vehicle on the closed highway or part thereof in intentional disobedience of the signs or traffic control devices.
Exception to subs. (3)
(4) Subsection (3) does not apply to,
(a) the driver of a road service vehicle, an ambulance, a fire department vehicle, a public utility emergency vehicle or a police department vehicle; or
(b) a firefighter, as defined in subsection 1 (1) of the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997, driving a motor vehicle other than one listed in clause (a) while performing his or her duties.
No Crown or road authority liability
(5) Every person using a highway closed to traffic in accordance with this section does so at the persons own risk and the Crown or road authority having jurisdiction and control of the highway is not liable for any damage sustained by a person using the highway so closed to traffic.
