When the Police Commissioner or the City Manager declares a state of snow emergency, no person shall operate a vehicle upon any street designated in Schedule XXIV (§ 312-95) as a snow emergency street unless the drive, traction or powered wheels of said vehicle are equipped with skid chains, snow tires or radial tires, until the Police Commissioner or the City Manager declares the state of snow emergency terminated.
