An END ROAD WORK sign (G20-2a) (see Section 6F.57) may be used to indicate the end of the higher fine area in lieu of the END WORK ZONE LIMIT sign (R2-12) if workers are present near the end of the work zone. 6H-5 Speed Limit Fines in Work Zones Support Since statute sets a fine of $300 for a violation of a regulatory speed limit in a work zone, the local road authority may determine that the traveling public be made aware of the increased fines. Option A black and orange WORK ZONE plaque (G20-5aP) (see Section 6F.12) may be installed above a SPEED LIMIT sign and/or a black and white $300 FINE plaque (see Section 6F.12) may be installed below a SPEED LIMIT sign to indicate the increased fine within the work zone. Standard If the black and orange WORK ZONE plaque (G20-5aP) is installed above a SPEED LIMIT sign and/or a black and white $300 FINE plaque (R2-6bP) (see Section 6F.12) is installed below a SPEED LIMIT sign, an END WORK ZONE SPEED LIMIT sign (R2-12) (see Section 6F.12) shall be placed at the end of the work zone to indicate the end of the higher fine area.
