(A) If, for any reason, the streets of this city are rendered incapable of bearing the customary traffic without undue damage, or if it is considered by the Lead City Commission that the streets or any section of them under its jurisdiction would be damaged or destroyed by heavy traffic by reason of thawing or excessive moisture, or for any reason, the maximum load weight per axle shall be reduced and limitations may also be placed on the gross weight of any vehicle.
(B) Notice of any restriction under this section shall be given by placing at each end of that section of road on which the allowable weight limit is reduced and at points of intersection, as deemed necessary by the Public Works Director.
(C) Signs of substantial construction shall conspicuously indicate the limitations on the maximum load weight per axle or other limitations on the gross weight of any vehicle. If a driver exceeds the weight limits allowed for in this section, the violation will constitute a Class 2 misdemeanor
