(A) It is unlawful to operate a vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with pneumatic tires upon the streets or highways of Brooklyn Park when the gross weight of any single wheel exceeds 9,000 pounds, or when the gross weight of any single axle exceeds 18,000 pounds. The City Engineer may prohibit the operation of vehicles upon any public streets or impose further restrictions as to the weight of vehicles to be operated upon the street, whenever the street by reason of deterioration, rain, snow, or other climate conditions will be seriously damaged or destroyed unless the use of vehicles thereon is prohibited, or the permissible weights thereon are reduced.
(B) The City Engineer is authorized to erect and maintain or cause to be erected and maintained, signs plainly indicating the prohibition or restriction at each end of that portion of any street affected thereby, and the prohibition or restriction shall not be effective unless and until the signs are erected and maintained.
