(A) The permittee, in the conduct of the work, use, or maintenance of an encroachment authorized by a permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, shall, at his own expense, provide, erect, and/or maintain such lights, barriers, warning signs, patrols, watchmen, and other safeguards as are necessary to protect the traveling public. Any omission on the part of the City Engineer to specify in the permit lights, barriers, or other protective measures or devices shall not excuse the permittee from complying with all requirements of law and appropriate regulations and ordinances for adequately protecting the safety of those using public streets. If, at any time, the City Engineer finds that suitable safeguards are not being provided, the city may provide, erect, maintain, relocate, or remove such safeguards as are deemed necessary or may cancel the permit and restore the right-of-way to its former condition, all at the expense of the permittee.
(B) A permittee making any excavation or erecting or leaving any obstruction within, under, or upon the right-of-way, or causing the same to be made, erected, or left, shall place and maintain lights at each end of the excavation or obstruction, at not more than 50 foot intervals along the excavation or obstruction, from one-half hour before sunset of each day to one-half hour after sunrise of the next day, until the excavation is entirely refilled or the obstruction is removed and the right-of-way made safe for use. Reflectorized warning signs conforming to the requirements of the Division of Highways of the state shall be placed 100 feet in advance of any obstruction or excavation within the traveled way in such a position as to adequately warn vehicular traffic, and on major streets additional similar signs shall be placed 400 feet in advance.
(C) The warning signs, lights, and other safety devices shall conform to the applicable requirements of the California Vehicle Code and of any sign manual issued by the Department of Public Works of the state.
