Figure 7B-4. Example of Signing for a Higher Fines School Zone without a School Crossing

This figure illustrates an example of signing for a higher fines school zone without a school crossing.

A vertical roadway with two-way traffic is shown with one T-shaped intersection at each end of the roadway to the right and one in the middle section to the left. In the middle of the figure on the right, two rectangular shapes are shown to the east side of the roadway, representing a school and parking lot.

At the bottom of the figure, a sign assembly is shown to the right of the vertical roadway in advance of a T-shaped intersection on the right and facing northbound traffic. An upward-pointing pentagon-shaped fluorescent yellow-green sign with a black border and black symbols of two left-facing children walking is shown above a horizontal rectangular fluorescent yellow-green plaque with a black border and the word "SCHOOL" in black. The plaque is marked "optional." Below this plaque, a square white plaque is shown with a black border and the words "FINES HIGHER" in black on two lines. This plaque is marked "optional."

In advance of the lower left-hand intersection, a square white plaque is shown with a black border and the words "BEGIN HIGHER FINES ZONE" in black on four lines.

Beyond the school and to the right of the roadway and in advance of the upper right-hand intersection, a square white plaque is shown with a black border and the words "END HIGHER FINES ZONE" in black on four lines. To the right of this plaque, the word "OR" is shown and another plaque. This plaque is shown as a square white plaque with a black border and the words "END SCHOOL ZONE" in black on three lines.

On the left side of the roadway from the top to the bottom of the figure, the same series and placements of sign are shown facing southbound traffic.
