VPD begins crackdown on loud vehicles in the city
VANCOUVER — Starting today, Vancouver Police officers will be listening for noise violators in the city.
Traffic officers will be out with decibel meters, conducting increased enforcement on noisy exhaust from cars and motorcycles.
Vancouver Police spokesman Cst. Brian Montague says they don’t write a lot of tickets for these types of offences, but they want to raise awareness about the adverse impact that the exhaust noise can have on city dwellers, especially the residents of the downtown core.
“The noise levels can be pretty debilitating for some residents especially in summer time when people have their windows open,” said Montague.
