It is unlawful for any person to operate a vehicle as defined
by Section 670 of the Vehicle Code upon the private property of another
which is not normally held open to the public for vehicular use.
(Prior Code § 16-11.1)
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to the following:
The owner, his agent or his tenant may post signs prohibiting vehicular traffic on the private property upon which they are posted. The posting or erecting of any such sign constitutes prima facie evidence that the owner has not consented to the operation of vehicles upon the property by any person other than those persons or agencies or vehicles specifically exempted in Section 7-9.02.
The
posting of any signs prohibiting vehicle traffic on private property
shall be the sole responsibility and solely at the expense of the
owner, his agent or his tenant.
In
order to constitute prima facie evidence of lack of consent as provided
in this section, the signs shall read, "VEHICULAR TRAFFIC PROHIBITED,
S.M.M.C. Ch. 7-9." The signs shall be 18 inches by 18 inches on a
white background with three inch high red letters and shall be posted
in a manner so that they are clearly visible at normal entrances to
the property.
