B. A local authority enacting an ordinance or resolution pursuant to subsection A of this section shall erect or cause signs to be erected and maintained designating the provisions of the ordinance or resolution at each end of that portion of a highway affected by the ordinance or resolution. The ordinance or resolution is not effective until the signs are erected and maintained. C.

The local authority shall place appropriate uniform signs designed by the department on the highway to designate the prohibitions and limitations. D.

The signs prescribed in subsections C and D of this section shall be placed near every intersection or junction with a traffic control device along designated highways, shall inform the public of the restrictions and shall either direct the public to the fastest route to leave a restricted route or inform the public of the distance that the route is restricted.
