No person shall move or operate upon any of the streets under the jurisdiction of the City of Coronado any vehicle with a load or loads in excess of those permitted by the Vehicle Code without a written permit. The City Engineer may authorize by written permit, on other than State highways, a load or loads in excess of those allowed for in the Vehicle Code, if, in his judgment, the streets upon which such vehicle is to be operated can safely withstand the additional size or weight. The applicant may be required to guarantee to the City that all costs of repair to the streets or 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 upon depositing such bond as the City Engineer in his discretion may require. (Ord. 1956 § 17, 2004)
