A guy in colorado came across this sign on a city street. He was puzzled because the sign didn’t say what he was supposed to do to avoid the increased fine.

That sign is in Aurora, CO, which has what are termed safety zones to increase the level of penalties near certain schools and construction sites. If you get a speeding ticket in one of these zones, for example, you can be assessed the regular ticket charge plus an additional fine of at least $100.

Although it’s not shown in this photograph, an Aurora spokeswoman stated that, there are always signs nearby that indicate a school zone or construction area.

I guess this sign is similar to the signs in construction zones in Texas that state “Fine Double When Workers Present”. They just have to be present — not actually working.
