§ 8.02 TRUCK ROUTE.
   (A)   It is unlawful for any person to drive a tractor, agricultural implement, truck over 10,000 pounds axle gross vehicle weight, truck-trailer, tractor-trailer or truck tractor in through traffic, upon any street, except those which have been designated and sign-posted as truck routes. The total weight for the entire vehicle shall not exceed 80,000 pounds. For the purpose of this section, THROUGH TRAFFIC means originating without the city and with a destination without the city, as distinguished from “local traffic” which means traffic either originating or having a destination within the city.

   (B)   Violation of this section shall subject the violator to civil and criminal penalties pursuant to M.S. §§ 169.832 through 169.851, as they may be amended from time to time.

   (B)   Unlawful act. It is a misdemeanor for any person to do any exhibition driving on any street, parking lot or other public or private property, except when an emergency creates necessity for the operation to prevent injury to persons or damage to property.
