(A) The purpose of this subchapter is to preserve the public streets within the city from damage or destruction by trucks or other heavy-laden vehicles and to reduce the cost and expense to the taxpayers within the city of street maintenance and repair from damage caused by the traffic. The city ordains that axle weight limits are restricted on public city streets to protect these streets from damage when road and weather conditions warrant in accordance with regulations as provided in M.S. § 169.87, as it may be amended from time to time.
(B) These weight restrictions are in effect during the spring thaw season, but streets may be posted for weight restrictions any time that road and weather conditions warrant weight limits to protect streets from damage. STREET and VEHICLE are defined in Chapter 72, Schedule I.
(C) All public city streets are limited to a five-ton per axle weight limit unless otherwise posted.
