 4 standing the provisions of section eighteen hundred of this article and
 5 any rule or regulation to the contrary, that part of any highway adja-
 6 cent to a school where maximum school speed limits have been estab-
 7 lished, shall also be designated a school traffic control zone and shall
 8 be clearly marked with the placement of either a traffic light or stop
 9 sign at every intersection or corner immediately surrounding a school
 10 safety zone within such school zone. All fines for traffic infractions
 11 pursuant to this chapter which are committed in a school traffic control
 12 zone shall be double the maximum amount otherwise set out in this chap-
 13 ter for such infractions.
 14 § 1801-a. School traffic control zone; misdemeanors. Notwithstanding
 15 the provisions of section eighteen hundred one of this article and any
 16 rule or regulation to the contrary, all fines for misdemeanor
 17 convictions pursuant to this chapter, which are committed in a school
 18 traffic control zone, as designated pursuant to section eighteen
 19 hundred-a of this article, shall be double the maximum amount otherwise
 20 set out in this chapter for such misdemeanor convictions.
 21 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 22 have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment
 23 and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation
 24 of this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and
 25 completed on or before such effective date.
