design of the signs to allow a motor vehicle operator to clearly
determine:
(1) that the operator is entering a tolled highway;
(2) any toll payment restriction, including a
requirement of transponder-only payment; and
(3) the amount of the toll being collected at any toll
booth or plaza.
(b) Signs containing information under Subsection (a)(1) or
(2) must be positioned at a distance from the beginning of the
tolled highway or payment restriction, as applicable, that allows a
vehicle operator to safely determine not to enter the tolled
highway or payment restricted segment.
