All cuts made in the driving area of a street or alley shall be covered with steel plates and anchored safely to the paved surface until the cut is ready for traffic. Cold-patch type asphalt concrete shall be placed all around the plate to lessen any possible damage to the vehicles crossing the area. No more than ten calendar days shall elapse between the date the hole is first cut in the street right-of-way and the date on which the repair is complete and the patch is paved to finish grade and open to traffic.
