A. No vehicle shall be driven or moved on any highway unless
such vehicle is so constructed or loaded as to prevent any of its
load from dropping, sifting, leaking, blowing or otherwise escaping
therefrom, except that sand may be dropped for the purpose of
securing traction, or water or other substances may be sprinkled on
a roadway in cleaning or maintaining such roadway.
B. No person shall operate on any highway any vehicle with any
load unless said load and any covering thereon is securely fastened

vehicle loaded with sand, cinders, or other loose material
susceptible to blowing or otherwise escaping shall have such load
