No street openings, street obstructions or maintenance operations will be allowed in streets located in or contiguous to areas and uses of unusually intense vehicular or pedestrian traffic during such days and/or hours when such traffic is usually most intense, except in cases of emergency specifically certified by the Commissioner.

In all such cases, work is to be completed and any obstruction removed and trenches or other areas must be reusable at close of work or not later than the final day of the effective period of the permit except as otherwise authorized in advance by the Commissioner.

D. 

In the event that openings have not been backfilled and satisfactorily resurfaced, or obstructions removed, on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays or during periods of unusually heavy traffic volume, or at the expiration of the effective period of the permit as provided above, the City of New Rochelle reserves the right to backfill and resurface such openings or to remove such obstructions, by contract or otherwise, at the permittee's own expense.

E. 

On all streets within the jurisdiction of the City of New Rochelle determined by the Commissioner to be major thoroughfares, no street openings, street obstructions or maintenance operations will be allowed except between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.
