RS 17-567 and 60-6,250, it shall be unlawful for any person: to move or operate heavy equipment across any curb, gutter, bridge, culvert, sidewalk, crosswalk or crossing on any unpaved street without first having protected the curb, gutter, bridge, culvert, sidewalks, crosswalk or crossing with heavy planking sufficient in strength to warrant against the breaking or damaging of the curb, gutter, bridge, culvert, sidewalk, crosswalk or crossing; or to run, drive, move, operate or convey over or across any paved street a vehicle, machine or implement with sharp discs or sharp wheels that bear upon the pavement, with wheels having cutting edges, with wheels having lugs, protruding parts or bolts thereon that extend beyond a plain tire so as to cut, mark, mar, indent or otherwise injure or damage any pavement, gutter or curb.
