§518. Authority of certain incorporated municipalities
Incorporated municipalities over two thousand five hundred inhabitants may, within their corporate limits, designate the streets other than state constructed and maintained streets and highways upon which the operation of vehicles of all classes shall be permitted according to their carrying capacity, and the manner of such operation, or prohibit traffic exceeding a given weight on certain but not all of its streets; provided that in the event a municipality of more than two thousand five hundred inhabitants is adjacent to or connected by a bridge, tunnel, or ferry with another municipality, the respective governing authorities of such municipalities may agree upon and determine the common use of their streets by vehicles licensed by either municipality in accordance with this provision.
Nothing in this Chapter shall be held to restrict or impair in any manner whatever rights such municipalities may have, under other laws, to prescribe greater but not lesser limitations or restrictions upon the carrying capacity of vehicles transporting persons or property exclusively within their corporate limits, or to assess, levy, and collect upon such vehicles such municipal registration or license taxes as may be authorized by the laws of the state.
Within the parish of Tangipahoa the provisions of this Section shall apply only with respect to incorporated cities having over ten thousand inhabitants.
