The City Manager, with the approval of the City Council, shall post on each end of any bridge in this City that is under the City's control a sign stating the maximum total gross weight with load that may be permitted by any vehicle or combination of vehicles on such bridge. No sign will be required for those bridges or culverts whose load rating meets or exceeds thirty-six (36) tons, thereby qualifying as a non-rated bridge.
