     221.091 Limitations; relationship to local regulation. 

    No provision in sections 221.011 to 221.291 and 221.84 to 
 221.85 shall authorize the use by any carrier of any public 
 highway in any city of the first class in violation of any 
 charter provision or ordinance of such city in effect January 1, 
 1925, unless and except as such charter provisions or ordinance 
 may be repealed after that date; nor shall sections 221.011 to 
 221.291 and 221.84 to 221.85 be construed as in any manner 
 taking from or curtailing the right of any city to reasonably 
 regulate or control the routing, parking, speed or the safety of 
 operation of a motor vehicle operated by any carrier under the 
 terms of those sections, or the general police power of any such 
 city over its highways; nor shall sections 221.011 to 221.291 
 and 221.84 to 221.85 be construed as abrogating any provision of 
 the charter of any such city requiring certain conditions to be 
 complied with before such carrier can use the highways of such 
 city and such rights and powers herein stated are hereby 
 expressly reserved and granted to such city; but no such city 
 shall prohibit or deny the use of the public highways within its 
 territorial boundaries by any such carrier for transportation of 
 passengers or property received within its boundaries to 
 destinations beyond such boundaries, or for transportation of 
 passengers or property from points beyond such boundaries to 
 destinations within the same, or for transportation of 
 passengers or property from points beyond such boundaries 
 through such municipality to points beyond the boundaries of 
 such municipality, where such operation is pursuant to a 
 certificate of convenience and necessity issued by the 
 commission or to a permit issued by the commissioner under 
 section 221.84 or 221.85.
