Windsor police to conduct noise campaign

WINDSOR, ONT. -- Windsor police will be conducting a blitz to keep the peace and quiet.

The service is running a noise campaign starting Monday which will run until Sept. 6.

Police say the campaign is in response to sustained complaints about racing, squealing tires and vehicles with loud exhaust systems. 

Deputy chief Jason Bellaire said not every instance will result in a fine, but authorities will crack down on excessive noise.

A targeted noise campaign will run from May 24 to Sept 6, 2021 as there is increased public concerns about #noisepollution in our communities, especially related to unnecessary vehicle noise. The focus will be on racing, squealing tires, & loud vehicles (ex. no muffler).#Warned pic.twitter.com/BrQsYhkhnu

Windsor police are also reminding drivers to be responsible on the roads. Noting that "aggressive" driving incuding tailgating, speed, and cutting too closely is "reckless and dangerous."
