§ 714-15. Truck and Vehicle Loads Causing Litter or Scattering Debris.
No person shall drive or move any truck or other vehicle within the city unless such vehicle is so constructed and loaded as to prevent any load, contents or litter from being thrown or deposited upon any street, alley or other public place. No person, being the owner, driver or other person in charge of a vehicle hauling excavated material, coal, coke, construction or building materials, or other materials within the city shall permit any part of such material to fall or drop or be blown therefrom on a city street, alley or other public place. When a vehicle carries trash, sawdust, ashes, cinders, sand, earth, lime, manure or other substance liable to be blown away, the owner, driver or other person in charge thereof shall, before driving or operating it on any street, alley or other public place, cause such substance or substances to be completely covered with a canvas, duck or other substantial covering in such manner that the same cannot fall or be blown from such vehicle.
No person shall operate any truck or other vehicle, including those used for hauling earth-moving and any other equipment, or that has accumulated any mud, dirt, litter or any other debris that is liable to be blown or otherwise dislodged during operation onto any roadway, street, alley or other public place. The owner, driver or person in charge of such truck or other vehicle shall, before operating it on any roadway, street, alley or other public place, cause such accumulated mud, dirt, litter or debris to be removed or shall cover such portions of the truck or vehicle with a canvas or other substantial covering so that such accumulated material cannot be blown or otherwise dislodged during such operation.
