(A) In all cases where a street is being re-paved, the Director of Public Works shall be authorized to close the street or part of the street from the time the work is started until a time as in his or her judgment the street is suitable for ordinary traffic thereon. If there is any dispute as to the time when pavement is sufficiently set or hardened or otherwise has become fit for travel, the decision of the Director of Public Works shall be final. It shall be the special duty of the Director of Public Works to see that the provisions of this section are enforced, both as to the erection of barriers or enclosures and as to travel on any street by vehicles, during the time prohibited. It shall also be the duty of the Director of Public Works to serve the notice as may be necessary to protect any person having a permanent line thereon, such as bus lines, taxicab lines and the like.
(B) No person shall interfere with the closing or undertaking by operating a car or otherwise traveling thereon before the enclosures have been removed therefrom and the street opened for travel.
