(1) Dropping sand, abrasives, chemicals, or other materials to improve traction;
(2) Spreading water or other substance to construct, clean or maintain a highway; or
(3) Dropping asphalt or other materials for highway, bridge, storm drain, or utility construction or repair.
(b) A vehicle with any load may not be driven on any highway unless the vehicle is constructed or loaded to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping.
(c) A vehicle with any load may not be driven on any highway unless the load and any covering on the load are fastened securely to prevent the load or covering from becoming loose or detached or from in any way endangering other users of the highway.
