Every
bus, truck, full trailer, semitrailer, and pole trailer, with the exception of
local haul pulpwood trucks and local haul waste collection dumping trailers,
shall be equipped with suitable metal protectors or substantial flexible flaps
on the rearmost wheels to prevent, as far as practicable, such wheels from
throwing dirt, gravel, rocks, water, or other materials on the windshields of
following vehicles. Such protectors or flaps shall have a ground clearance of
not more than one-half of the distance from the center of the rearmost axle to
the center of the protector or flap under any conditions of loading of the
vehicle and shall be at least as wide as the tires they are covering; provided,
however, that if any such bus, truck, full trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer
is so designed and constructed that the foregoing requirements are accomplished
by means of fenders, body construction, or other enclosures, then the protectors
or flaps provided for in this Code section shall not be required.
