In exercising such authority, the Chief Engineer or the Administrator of the Commerce and Compliance Division may impose such restrictions as may be necessary to protect the safety and convenience of the traveling public, to protect any highway or section thereof from damage, to avoid conflict with highway construction or repair projects, or to cope with other local traffic conditions.(2)
