§ 72.008 DROPPING DEBRIS ON STREET.
   (A)   No vehicle shall be driven or moved on any street unless each vehicle is so constructed or loaded as to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping therefrom, except that sand may be dropped for the purpose of securing traction, or water or other substance may be sprinkled in cleaning or maintaining the street. It shall not be necessary, in order to constitute an offense under this section, that a portion of the load become loose or detached, but is sufficient that it be so loaded or unsecured that it might reasonably be expected to do so.
   (B)   No person shall throw or deposit upon any street any glass, nails, tacks, cans or other substance likely to injure any person, animal or vehicle.
