Subtitle 2 - AIRPORTS DIVISION
Chapter 15.1 - OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES AT PUBLIC AIRPORTS
Section 19-15.1-27 - Operational area; vehicle operations

(a) No person shall ride on or operate a vehicle when the passenger load is in excess of the designated passenger capacity of that vehicle.

(b) No baggage cart train shall exceed six carts in length. Carts shall be maintained to track properly without "fishtailing." Carts with rotating beds shall be secure in the normal traveling position before being towed.

(c) All vehicles and containers shall be kept clear of the marked access way between aircraft positions except while underway to or from these positions.

(d) All vehicles shall be kept off the ramp and maintained in assigned vehicle positions except during actual servicing operations. During servicing operations, each vehicle shall remain within the assigned aircraft position being serviced and parked in such a way as not to interfere with operations at adjacent positions. Vehicles or service equipment, except those in assigned parking stalls and leased parking areas, found unattended or obstructing any portion of the operational area or any vehicular roadway, may be removed or towed at the owner's risk and expense without liability on the part of the department for any damage which may result from such removal.

(e) No vehicle shall overtake and pass another moving vehicle in a marked roadway on the operational area. A driver approaching a stopped vehicle in his lane shall come to a complete stop behind that vehicle, check for moving aircraft and approaching vehicles, then proceed carefully around the stopped vehicle, keeping within the marked roadway.

(f) The operator of a slow moving vehicle or piece of equipment shall not unduly impede the flow of traffic. The operator shall move off the marked roadway to the right, stop, and allow faster moving traffic to pass before returning to the roadway.

(g) All vehicles and baggage carts shall be kept clear of the baggage handling areas and roadways and in assigned areas. Carts, wagons or other containers shall be parked or stored with brakes set (or wheels chocked) and tow bars placed in an upright position.

(h) No baggage or container cart or cart train shall be operated on airport roadways or other airport areas unless the cart or cart train is properly loaded and secured in such a manner calculated to prevent any of the load from dropping, shifting, spilling, or otherwise escaping therefrom.

(i) No baggage or container cart or cart train shall be operated on airport roadways or other airport areas when any luggage, baggage, box or other article thereon is not entirely within the body of the cart or cart train; provided, however, that this prohibition shall not apply if a net is used to prevent such load from dropping onto roadway or from shifting in any manner.

(j) No vehicle shall be operated on airport roadways or other airport areas unless the vehicle is so constructed, covered, or loaded as to prevent any of its load other than clear water from dropping, shifting, leaking, spilling, or otherwise escaping therefrom.
