The Public Works Department may prohibit the operation of vehicles upon any street under the Department’s jurisdiction or impose weight restrictions on vehicles to be operated on such streets whenever the street, by reason of deterioration, rain, snow, or other climatic conditions, will be seriously damaged or destroyed unless the use of vehicles on the street is prohibited or the permissible weights thereof reduced. The Public Works Director shall erect and maintain signs plainly indicating the prohibition or restriction at each end of that portion of the street affected. No person shall operate a vehicle on a posted street in violation of the prohibition or restriction.
