Subdivision 1.
During the period March 15 to May 1 of any year no vehicle or combination of
vehicles shall be operated upon City streets when the gross weight of any single
axle exceeds twelve thousand (12,000) pounds unless the street is otherwise
posted by an appropriate sign indicating a higher limit. It is a misdemeanor for any
person to operate a vehicle on any street in violation of these amendments.
Subdivision 2.
The City Engineer may from time to time impose upon vehicular traffic on any part
or all of the streets such load limits as may be necessary or desirable. Such limits,
and the specific extent or weight to which loads are limited, shall be clearly and
legibly sign-posted thereon. It is a misdemeanor for any person to operate a vehicle
on any street in violation of the limitations so posted. In any case of emergency or
urgent necessity, an application may be made to the City Engineer for a waiver of
the provisions of this Section. The City Engineer, in his sole discretion, may grant or
deny such waiver.
