yes should have noise bylaw or something in place. garbage trucks pounding away at 5 in the a.m. trucks coming into the city from the south,pass the hotels jake brakes hammering, less racket would be kind of peaceful
IIRC there used to be. I don' know if the bylaws still reflect a prohibition on 'engine retarder brakes'. If not one should be implemented and proper signage put in place at all entrances to the city starting at the pulp mill area! The 'noise bylaw' is simply not adequate or enforcable in this regard.
Sometimes with a heavy load we need to jake to help keep the load under control with descent or risk losing our brakes and having a bigger issue with us in your living room, but jaking for the sake of braking is uncalled for. Wouldnt have to if they built a bypass around the city and 2nd ave was built properly.
