[Added 10-22-2020 by Ord. No. 09-24-2020]
The use or operation of any mechanical exhaust device designed
to aid in the braking, decompression or deceleration of a motor vehicle
which results in excessive loud unusual or explosive noise from such
vehicle.
It shall be unlawful for the driver of any motor vehicle to
use or operate or cause to be used or operated, at any time and on
any roadway within the Borough of Haledon, any mechanical exhaust
or decompression device which results in a practice known as "engine
braking."
The provisions of this article shall not apply to engine braking
where necessary for the protection of persons and/or property which
cannot be avoided by application of an alternative braking system.
Noise caused by the application of engine compression brakes, otherwise
known as engine braking, which is effectively muffled or if the application
is necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the community is
exempt from the provisions of this article. Sounds created by emergency
equipment for emergency purposes are also exempt.
The Borough is hereby authorized to post signs at reasonable
locations within the Borough indicating the prohibition of the practice
of engine braking.
Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey Statute,
any person convicted of a violation of this article shall be punished
for a first conviction thereof by a fine of not more than $150 or
by imprisonment for a period not to exceed 10 days, or by both such
fine and imprisonment; for a second such conviction, such person shall
be punished by a fine of not more than $200 or by imprisonment for
a period of not to exceed 20 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment;
and upon the third or any subsequent conviction, such person shall
be punished by a fine of not more than $500 or by imprisonment for
a period not to exceed six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
