No person shall move or operate on any of the City streets any
vehicle with a load or loads in excess of the weights or dimensions
permitted by the Vehicle Code without a written permit from the City
Traffic Engineer. The City Traffic Engineer may, by written permit,
authorize a load or loads in excess of the weights or dimensions allowed
for in the Vehicle Code if, in his or her judgment, the streets upon
which such vehicle is to be operated can safely withstand the additional
weight and provide sufficient clearance or if the applicant will guarantee
to the City that all costs of repair to the streets or to the public
property of the City damaged by the movement of such load or loads
will be paid in full. Such permit shall be granted upon such conditions
and depositing of such bond as the City Traffic Engineer in his or
her discretion may require.
