Every permittee holding an excavation permit shall take appropriate measures to assure that during the performance of the excavation work, traffic conditions as near normal as practicable shall be maintained at all times so as to cause as little inconvenience as possible to the occupants of the abutting property and to the general public; provided, that the Director of Public Works may permit the closing of streets and alleys to all traffic for a period of time prescribed by him if, in his opinion, it is necessary, and may require the permittee to submit a traffic detour plan for approval prior to starting work. The written approval of the Director of Public Works may require that the permittee give notification to various public agencies and to the general public. In such case, such written approval shall not be valid until such notice is given.
