Editor's Note: Former § 168-10,
Barricaded streets, was repealed 6-1-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-1.
[Amended 6-19-2002]
A.
During seasonal periods of thaw and/or high groundwater,
the Department of Public Works may, by posting signs on any Class
IV, V or VI highway in the City, impose limits on the weight of vehicles
using that highway which are more restrictive than the limits set
forth in RSA 266:17-26. Seasonal weight limits shall be set by the
Department of Public Works, when needed to prevent the destruction
of the roads through overloading for conditions, and to prevent unreasonable
municipal maintenance expenses. A seasonal weight limit will normally
be six tons. The timing of posting shall be in accord with current
road maintenance practices and technology.
B.
The City may, for similar reasons, impose weight limits
of longer duration on any street or bridge; provided, however, that
weight limits which are nonseasonal in duration shall require a vote
of the City Council.
C.
Signs shall be posted at all entrances to the restricted
street or portion thereof from other public highways. Signage shall
be legible, posted in conspicuous locations, and be of weather-resistant
materials.
D.
Seasonal weight limits under this section shall not
apply to City maintenance vehicles or to emergency vehicles, milk
trucks or single-axle oil delivery trucks.
E.
The Director of Public Works, upon a satisfactory
showing of need, practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship, shall
grant a written exemption for vehicles to exceed the posted weight
limit, unless the exemption would, in the Director's judgment, contribute
to a condition detrimental to public safety. Such an exemption shall
specify in detail the scope and duration of the exemption, and may
include reasonable conditions, including requirements for bonding
and restoration of the highway. The Director may adopt a form for
this purpose.
F.
The City Council shall hold a public hearing on any
weight limit if requested to do so by an impacted business, in accord
with RSA 231:191, VII.
G.
In accordance with RSA 231:191, VI, any person who
drives, or causes to be driven on the highways of this City, a vehicle
whose weight is in excess of any weight limit which has been properly
posted under this section shall be guilty of a violation if a natural
person, or guilty of a misdemeanor if any other person; and in addition
shall be liable for the cost of restoration of the highway to a condition
satisfactory to the Director of Public Works.
[Amended 9-1-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-08]
Stop signs may be located on City streets by
approval of the City Manager or his/her designee. Date of approval
and location shall be recorded in the office of the City Clerk.
A.
Any person who receives written notification of violation of §§ 168-1, 168-2, 168-4, 168-5, 168-6, 168-7 and 168-8, with the exception of the violations listed below, shall, within 48 hours of receipt of the notice, either pay a fine of $10 at the Lebanon Police Department or indicate on said notice that he or she contests the allegation of violation. Should a person decide to pay the fine, such payment shall not constitute an admission of guilt, nor a determination of guilt. On receipt of the payment, no further action shall be taken by the Lebanon Police Department or any other law enforcement officer on such violation. Each additional time period violation constitutes a separate offense.
[Amended 12-6-1995; 6-2-1999; 6-1-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-1; 1-18-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-3]
