SGI is working on a new policy to objectively identify excessive vehicle noise—a policy that should be ready in time for the “summer cruising season”.
Once the policy is finalized, SGI will host free educational days where motorists can have their vehicles tested to see if they exceed the noise threshold.
There will be no fines at these days—but drivers will learn how they can reduce noise levels to comply with the new threshold.
“Right now, determining whether a vehicle is excessively loud is up to the discretion of law enforcement which can made it difficult to enforce because the criteria is subjective,” said JP Cullen, chief operating officer of the Saskatchewan Auto Fund. “This policy will remove all guesswork by introducing an objective way to measure whether or not a vehicle is creating excessive noise.”
SGI says additional information will be released to the public once the policy is finalized.
