"Airport runway" means any airport taxiway or runway, and includes all public or private airplane landing strips or air strips designed and constructed for the landing or taking off of aircraft. It is unlawful for any person to drive a motor vehicle upon any airport runway, whether or not occupied or attended, without first having obtained written permission from the owner thereof or the person lawfully entitled to the possession thereof, and it is unlawful for any person to go upon any airport runway owned, controlled or maintained by the County of San Diego, either on foot, or horseback or on a vehicle of any kind other than an aircraft, without permission to do so from the manager.
Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to prohibit any otherwise lawful entry on an airport runway for the purpose of repairing or maintaining such runway, for the purpose of furnishing service or aid to an aircraft or to the crew or passengers thereof, to perform any duty required by law, or to board or debark an aircraft.

No person not authorized by the Board of Supervisors shall erect or maintain any device which directs a beam of light in a flashing sequence toward any highway, nor shall any person erect or maintain any electric advertising sign or similar device that interferes with the visibility of any official traffic control device or warning signal.
The Road Commissioner shall be and is hereby authorized to remove or cause to be removed every unofficial sign, signal or device placed, maintained or displayed upon any County highway contrary to the provisions of Section 473 of the Vehicle Code and this division.
(a) The County Road Commissioner is authorized to place and maintain on County highways in mountain areas where winter snow conditions are a traffic hazard signs bearing appropriate words to require the use of tire chains on all motor vehicles using such highways when snow or ice conditions constitute a hazard. Such signs may be removable or adjustable so as to be readily placed in use and made visible when conditions require, and to be covered or otherwise not in view when not required.
The County Road Commissioner and his employees, the Sheriff and his deputies, and any officer of the California Highway Patrol are authorized to place such signs in use when snow or ice conditions on such highways are such as in their judgment as to constitute a traffic hazard, and to remove or withdraw such signs when no longer needed.
When such a sign has been placed in use and there is snow or ice on such highway, every motor vehicle using such highway shall be equipped with tire chains installed on the rear wheels, and any person who shall operate a motor vehicle without such tire chains is guilty of a misdemeanor.
(b) A person convicted of a third or subsequent violation of the provisions of the third paragraph of subsection (a) within two years from the date of the first conviction shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
(c) Each day on which a violation occurs or continues shall constitute a separate offense.
