It shall be unlawful for any person to operate
any truck or commercial vehicle upon any of the streets, highways
or alleys contained on a list maintained by the City Clerk; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the operation of any truck
or commercial vehicle upon any highway or portion thereof listed on
said list where such operation thereon shall be necessary in order
to pick up or deliver any goods, wares, merchandise or material from
or to any premises located upon any such highway or portion thereof,
but then only by entering such highway or part thereof at the intersection
nearest the destination and proceeding thereon no farther than the
nearest intersection thereafter.
The Chief of Police is empowered and authorized
to restrict the routing of heavy trucks and buses over certain thoroughfares
within the corporate limits of the City at such times as vehicles
are causing damage to the street, creating crowded conditions on the
roadway, impeding the flow of traffic or causing a situation dangerous
to life, limb or property. In any such event, the Chief of Police
shall designate which streets said trucks and/or buses shall traverse,
keeping in mind the utmost expediting of said truck or bus traffic
insofar as is possible. This section shall also apply to convoys of
heavy trucks or buses passing through the City, including all types
of industrial machinery and equipment.
