(A) No person shall operate on any public roadway, street or other public place a vehicle with mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter on its wheels or other parts if the operation results in the depositing or tracking of such mud, dirt, substances, litter or foreign matter on any roadway, street or other public place. No person being owner of real property and/or a prime contractor in charge of a construction site shall maintain such property or construction site so that vehicles upon the property or construction site pick up mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter on the wheels or other parts and deposit or track the mud, dirt, sticky substances, litter or foreign matter onto any public roadway, street or other public place.

No person being the owner, driver or other person in charge of a vehicle hauling excavated material, construction or building materials, or other materials within the village shall permit any part of such material to fall or drop or be blown therefrom on a public roadway, street or other public place.
