Whenever a sidewalk is used for temporary drive-over purposes, a suitable wood mat or pad shall be placed over the same to prevent damage to the sidewalk and to protect pedestrians from broken pieces of the walk or ruts worn into it. The mat or pad shall have a solid and smooth surface for the entire width of the paved and used walk and shall have chambered edges, not to exceed an angle of thirty degrees with the horizontal, fitting tightly to the walk where the mat comes in contact with it. All mats shall be kept in good repair and free from any and all holes, loose parts, obstructions and waste material, except that sand shall be sprinkled on the mats or pads when they become slippery.
