Tractors or other vehicles with lugs thereon or any other type of farm machinery that is not equipped with rubber tires are hereby prohibited from using bituminous treated streets or parking lots in the city; and whoever drives such a vehicle upon the streets whereby the streets or parking lots shall be damaged shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
(B) Load limits on city streets or parking lots. It shall also be unlawful for any person or persons, firm, or corporation to drive any vehicle over streets or parking lots having an axle weight load in excess of five tons during periods of the year when county road restrictions are not in effect. During periods of county road restriction or on streets designed for more than five tons, the current city street design map adopted by the City Council shall take precedence over the five ton limit and can be more or less restrictive. Any person, firm, or corporation wishing to drive vehicles in excess of above mentioned weight over any of the streets of the city shall first apply to the City Administrator for his or her permission. The Council may designate certain streets to be used regularly by such persons, firm, or corporation in the operation of their business, outlining certain routes that the vehicles are to follow and that no deviation from the routes will be permissible.
(C) Trucks operating on residential streets. It will be unlawful for any person or persons, firms, or corporations to operate a truck of over 12,000 pounds gross weight on residential streets except those trucks that are actually engaged in making deliveries or pickups at residential dwellings. Further, they will utilize state highways or designated truck routes wherever possible when making these deliveries or pickups. All other truck traffic not making deliveries or pickups will utilize only state highways or designated truck routes. Trucks making deliveries or pickups on residential streets will adhere to the provisions of division (B) above.
