A couple weeks ago, we talked about the general noise ordinance. Did you know that there’s a separate ordinance that addresses music from vehicles? It falls under “disturbing the peace”, and the ordinance divides the day into 7 a.m.-7 p.m. (daytime hours) and 7 p.m.-7 a.m. (nighttime hours).
This week’s Traffic Tuesday question: Fill in the blanks!
It is unlawful for any person to disturb the public peace and quiet by operating or allowing a sound system of a vehicle to produce a clearly audible sound at a distance of ___ feet from the vehicle during daytime hours and ___ feet from the vehicle during night time hours.
- 25 feet, 10 feet
- 50 feet, 25 feet
- 75 feet, 40 feet
- 100 feet, 50 feet
The answer is 2) 50 feet from the vehicle during daytime hours and 25 feet from the vehicle during night time hours.
