(A) The Board of Public Safety, if responsible for the maintenance or repair of a bridge, causeway or viaduct, is hereby authorized, when established by resolution regularly adopted, to reduce the gross weight allowed on the bridge, causeway or viaduct below that prescribed by state law, whenever the Board may determine that the maximum load otherwise permitted is greater than a bridge, causeway or viaduct can sustain without serious damage or with safety to itself.
(B) When signs are erected pursuant to this section in a conspicuous place at each end of the structure, indicating the gross weight allowed on any such bridge, causeway, or viaduct, no vehicle shall be moved over such bridge, causeway, or viaduct when the gross weight of such vehicle is greater than that allowed on such bridge, causeway or viaduct.
