(A) It shall be unlawful for the owner, driver, or person in charge of a vehicle hauling excavated material, coal, coke, construction or building material, or other materials on the streets of the city, to permit any part of these materials to fall or be blown therefrom on a street, sidewalk, or any other part of the right-of-way of a street or roadway in the city. It shall be unlawful for the owner, driver, or person in charge of any vehicle operated on the streets of the city to track or drop mud or any other materials from the vehicle on a street, sidewalk, or any other part of the right-of-way of a street or road in the city. When a vehicle carries trash, sawdust, ashes, cinders, sand, earth, lime, manure, or other substance liable to be blown away, the owner, driver, or person in charge thereof shall, before driving or operating it upon the streets, cause the substance to be completely covered with canvas, duck, or other substantial covering in a manner that the same cannot fall or be blown from the vehicle.
(B) It shall be unlawful to fail to immediately remove any of the material mentioned in division (A) of this section, if the same has been permitted to fall, drop, or be tracked onto a street, sidewalk, or other part of the right-of-way, and failure to observe the littering of the street in violation of division (A) of this section, shall not relieve any person of the duty imposed by this section.
