4. A person found to have committed a violation of a limitation of weight imposed by NRS 484D.615 to 484D.675, inclusive, shall be punished by a civil penalty that is equal to twice the amount of the civil penalty specified in subsection 1 if that violation occurred on or after February 1 but before May 1 on a highway designated by the Director of the Department of Transportation as restricted pursuant to NRS 408.214. This subsection does not create a separate offense but provides an additional penalty for the primary offense, whose imposition is contingent upon the finding of the prescribed fact.
