Pinole Municipal Code Ch. 10.68 Heavy Vehicles and Machinery

No person shall move or operate upon any of the city streets any vehicle with a load or loads in excess of those permitted by the Vehicle Code without a written permit from the city traffic engineer. (Ord. 432 § 2(part), 1982).

The city traffic engineer may, by written permit, authorize a load or loads in excess of those allowed for in the Vehicle Code, if, in his or her judgment, the streets upon which the vehicle is to be operated can safely withstand the additional weight, 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. The permit shall be granted upon such conditions and upon depositing such bond as the city traffic engineer in his or her discretion may require. (Ord. 432 § 2(part), 1982).

No person shall operate over the city streets any vehicle or piece of equipment such as lugs, cleats, flanges or other projections on the wheels or tracks. If the tread of the track has projections or corrugations, a filler block may be placed on each section so that a flat bearing surface will be in contact with the pavement at all times. (Ord. 432 § 2(part), 1982).
