(A) Anything in the uniform act regulating traffic on highways or this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, the authority with respect to streets and highways under the jurisdiction of the county may prescribe, by notice as herein provided, loads and weights and speed limits lower than the limits prescribed in this chapter and other laws, whenever in their judgment any street or road or part thereof or any bridge or culvert shall, by reason of its design, deterioration, rain or other climatic or natural causes be liable to be damaged or destroyed by motor vehicles, trailers or semi-trailers, if the gross weight or speed limit thereof shall exceed the limits prescribed in the notice. The local authority may, by like notice, regulate or prohibit, in whole or in part, the operation of any specified class or size of motor vehicle, trailer or semi-trailer on any highways or specified parts thereof under the jurisdiction of the county whenever in the judgment of the local authority, the regulation or prohibition is necessary to provide for the public safety and convenience on the highways or parts thereof by reason of traffic density, intensive use thereof by the traveling public or other reasons of public safety and convenience.

After any notice shall have been posted, the operation of any motor vehicle or combination contrary to its provisions shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
