Keep Those Streets Clean

Vicksburg, Mississippi, has an ordinance that says: "No person shall allow oil or gasoline of any character to be dropped from automobiles, tanks, or other vehicles or sources on any of the streets of the city paved with asphalt or like material." (Code Section 20-30)

Sounds like they are prohibiting my second car from being in their town, and surely "tanks" does not mean the military vehicles with the big guns, right?

Apparently it is okay for your car to spew oil all over a gravel or dirt road, just so long as it is not asphalt or "like material." Speaking of which, does "or like material" mean that this does not apply to concrete or brick streets? And do bridges count?
