The City of Calgary and the Calgary Police Service have launched a month‑long enforcement and education blitz aimed at reducing excessive vehicle noise along 17 Avenue SW.
“Residents should be able to sit on a patio or sleep with the window open without a vehicle roaring past and drowning everything out,” says Ward 8 Coun.
“Peace officers assess objectionable vehicle noise using a range of factors, including measurements and information such as location, time of day, volume and duration,” Johnson says.
Officials are out with a reminder that modifying a vehicle to increase noise, including installing aftermarket mufflers, is illegal under Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act.
Residents can report noisy vehicles to the Calgary Police Service’s non‑emergency line at 403‑266‑1234, or through 311.
