It may seem like a high fine, but it isn't. In the warmer half of the year I work with construction projects. Last summer there was a serious accident just because someone didn't slow down in the work zone. I had to take all the photos while the project manager took one lady to the hospital.

I don't think he was complaining about the fine.. more about public works and their inability to spell.. Minimum :)

OK, never mind. I guess it is funny. I was focused on the dollar amount.

Anyway, for the record the public work sectors never make those signs. They are always made by the private sector. Not that it matters though. I've seen worse.
