During the time the road is closed, the commission may authorize the placing of suitable barricades and signs at each end of the portion of the road that is closed.

Upon conviction, that person shall be fined not less than twenty-five dollars ($25.00) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100) and shall be liable to the state for any damage done.
