Transcription regulatory elements are punctuation marks for DNA replication. P, promoter; T, transcription terminator. The replication fork is slowed down by a head-on collision with the transcription initiation complex at the promoter (A) or a codirectional passage through the transcription terminator (B), i.e., when it passes the coding region from either direction.
