(A) No vehicle shall be driven or moved on any public street unless that vehicle is so constructed or loaded as to prevent any of its load from dropping, shifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping therefrom, except that sand or gravel may be dropped for the purpose of securing traction, or water or other substance may be sprinkled on a roadway surface in the cleaning or maintaining of the roadway by public authority having jurisdiction for the same or by persons under contract or other authorization by that public authority.
(B) Any person owning or operating a vehicle from which any glass, trash, or other objects of its load have fallen or escaped, which would constitute an obstruction or injure a vehicle or otherwise endanger travel upon a public street shall immediately cause that public street to be cleaned of all glass or other objects and shall pay any cost therefor. All trash haulers must have their vehicles adequately covered to prevent loose materials from falling or escaping.
