§291-33  Projections on face of
wheels prohibited.  There shall not be operated or moved upon any public
road, street, or highway within the State, any vehicle, motor vehicle, or other
power vehicle the face of the wheels of which are fitted or equipped with
flanges, ribs, clamps, cleats, lugs, chains, spikes or other projections, other
than rubber blocks, destructive to the road surfaces.  This provision applies
to all rings or flanges upon guiding or steering wheels of such vehicles, but
it shall not be so construed as to prevent (1) the use of ordinary detachable
tire or skid chains, or (2) the use of studded snow tires on either the Mauna
Kea access road above Hale Pohaku or on any other road within the Mauna Kea
Science Reserve leased to the University of Hawaii.



This section shall not apply to traction
engines, tractors, or other vehicles of the tracklaying type when the portions
of the movable tracks in contact with the roadway surface present plane
surfaces of sufficient area to prevent damage thereto. [L 1941, c 216, pt of
