(Prior code § 3305)

A. The City Council finds and determines that the use of Rosemead Place, Whitmore Street and Driggs Avenue, during the evening and early morning hours by vehicles having a gross weight in excess of six thousand (6,000) pounds impairs the quiet enjoyment of the residential area fronting on those streets at a time when the residents thereof are most in need of peace and quiet. Therefore, the use of vehicles having a gross weight in excess of six thousand (6,000) pounds on Rosemead Place, Whitmore Street and Driggs Avenue during the evening and early morning hours is injurious to the health and welfare of the residents of said streets.

B. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 35701 of the Vehicle Code, no person, corporation or any other organization shall use or operate any commercial vehicle or any vehicle exceeding six thousand (6,000) pounds on or over Rosemead Place, Whitmore Street, or Driggs Avenue between the hours of nine p.m. and seven a.m.
