(A) No person shall drive over any sidewalk or curb other than at a properly constructed driveway for any purpose in connection with demolition operations, including the delivery or removal of materials, without obtaining permission of the Safety Director. Permission to drive over curbs or sidewalks does not guarantee against damage or injury to property. The permittee shall be fully liable for all damage or injury caused.
(B) Whenever a curb or sidewalk is used for temporary “drive over” purposes, a suitable wood mat or pad shall be placed over the same to prevent damage to the sidewalk or curb and to protect pedestrians from broken pieces of walk or ruts worn into it. The mat or pad shall have a solid and smooth surface for the entire width of the paved and used walk and shall have chambered edges not to exceed an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal fitting tightly to the walk where the mat comes in contact with it. All mats shall be kept in good repair and free from holes, loose parts, obstructions, and waste material, except that sand shall be sprinkled on the mats when they become slippery.
