Police in the Upper Ottawa Valley are cracking down on excessively loud vehicles and illegally modified mufflers.
OPP in the Pembroke area have restarted "Operation Decibel", saying they have received numerous complaints of unnecessary noise.
At Janna and Kerry's Bar and Grill in downtown Pembroke, the owner says customers have asked to move away from the front bay windows at times because of loud vehicles."The only time it's really effective is when they decide they want to rev their engines right in front of our window. It has startled customers before."
The traffic campaign is on until Sept. 1. Tickets for excessive noise or illegal muffler modifications are $110 each.
