§ 151.17 SAFETY MEASURES.
   Any person, firm, or corporation cutting a pavement or surfacing or excavating in the streets shall erect suitable barricades, maintain warning lights from sunset to sunrise each night, and take such other precautions as necessary for the safety of the public, whether vehicles or pedestrians. Vehicles, equipment, materials, excavated material, and similar items shall likewise be protected by lights and warning devices, such as traffic cones, flags, and the like. Where traffic conditions warrant, the party excavating may be required to provide flagmen if, in the judgment of the City Council, the public safety requires it. Compliance with city ordinances and regulations shall not be deemed to waive the requirements that the party excavating shall comply with all the requirements of the labor safety laws and the rules of the State Department of Labor, nor shall any failure be deemed a responsibility of the city.
