(A) No vehicle shall tow more than one other vehicle, nor more than two trailers, and the connection shall not be over 15 feet long, and a red flag or other signal, or cloth not less than 12 inches both in length and width, shall be fastened to the tow line so as to make it plainly discernible. Each vehicle shall separately display thereon the lights required on a vehicle of the class to which it belongs.
(B) No vehicle, including any trailer or trailers attached, shall exceed 50 feet in length. Provided, however, a greater length may be permitted when the load consists of poles, structural iron, scenery, or other articles which, from their nature, cannot be shortened.
(C) Trailers must track within six inches of the preceding vehicle.
(D) Trailers shall be attached to the preceding vehicle by means of a suitable coupling. Two safety chains, one on each side of the coupling, must also be used. Both chains must be attached to the same part of the chassis as is the coupling. Each chain must be of sufficient strength to pull the trailer or trailers attached to it when it is loaded to maximum capacity.
(E) Violation of this provision shall be deemed a Class C civil infraction and shall be punishable as provided in Ch. 37 of this code of ordinances.
